Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

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

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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

4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

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.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

6 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.

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