Psalms 23

1 A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

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

3 He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou are with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!

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