Psalm 23
My Shepherd is Yahweh
I lack nothing
I stretch out in grassy pastures
He leads me to restful waters
My soul He restores
He leads me on paths of righteousness for
the sake of His name
Moreover, when I walk the valley
of dark death I fear no evil
For You are with me
Your scepter and staff,
these console me
You arrange in my face a table in front
of those who rival me
You saturate my head with oil
My cup overflows
Surely goodness and loving-kindness will
pursue me every day I live
And I will abide in the house of Yahweh for the length of days.
