Psalms 23

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

A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

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

He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

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

He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names 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 should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, 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 doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

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.

Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
