< Psalms 23 >
1 [A Psalm by David.] YHWH 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 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 my 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 YHWH'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.
