Psalms 23

1 Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

1A Psalm of David. Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> my shepherd, I do not lack,

1 The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

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

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

2He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

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

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

3He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

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

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

4Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

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

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

5You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

6 Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

6Only--goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling <FI>is<Fi> in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

6Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
