Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

2 In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

3 My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

4 Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff — they comfort me.

Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

5 Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

6 Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
