Psalms 23

1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into 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.

Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted 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.

You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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.

Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
