< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.
A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
