Psalms 23

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

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

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

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

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

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

4 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.

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

5 Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

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

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
