Psalms 23

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

A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

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

He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

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

He refreshes my soul, He leads me in 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.

Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your 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.

You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

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 kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!
