Psalms 23

1On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

1Jehovah 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.

2For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

2He 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.

3Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

3He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the 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.

4The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

4Yea, 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.

5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

5Thou 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.

6This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

6Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.

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.

7Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
