Psalms 23

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

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 leadeth me in the paths of righteousness 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 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 will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
