Psalms 23

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

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

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.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff 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 spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and 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 love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
