Psalms 23

1 “A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed comfort me.

Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou are with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.

Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever.
