A Psalm of David.
Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside {Hebrew: waters of rest.}still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of {Or, deep darkness (and so elsewhere)}the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou hast anointed my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
{Or, Only}Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah {Hebrew: for length of days.}for ever.
