Psalms 23

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

[A Psalm by David.] Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

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

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

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

He restores my soul. He guides 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.

Even 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 overflows.

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 loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Jehovah's house forever.
