Psalms 23

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

A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want:

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

In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;

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

My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.

4 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.

Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.

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

Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

6 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!

Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
