Psalms 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.

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

3 He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff 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 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

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

6 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.

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!
