Psalms 23

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

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

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

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into 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, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these 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.

You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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

Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
