Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I will not lack.

“A psalm of David.” The LORD is my shepherd: I shall not want.

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

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

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

He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, For his name's sake.

4 Even 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.

When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook and thy 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 overflows.

Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
