Psalms 23

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

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

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

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

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the 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 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 a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, 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 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 loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.

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