Psalms 23

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

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.

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

He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 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.

Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.

5 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.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

6 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.

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.
