Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall 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 restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths 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.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod 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 hast anointed 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 Jehovah'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.
