Psalms 23

1 “A psalm of David.” The LORD is my shepherd: I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

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

3 He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, For his name's sake.

My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.

4 When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook and thy 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 Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

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 mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

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