Psalms 23

1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

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

1Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

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

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

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

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the 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.

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

3He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

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.

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!

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