< Psalms 23 >
1 A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want:
A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.
2 In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;
He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.
3 My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.
He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names 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.
Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort 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 doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.
6 Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
