< Psalms 23 >
1 A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;
He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.
3 My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.
He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his 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.
Yes, 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.
5 Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
6 Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
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.
