A Psalm of David.

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

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.*23.2 green…: Heb. pastures of tender grass*23.2 still…: Heb. waters of quietness

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

4 Yea, 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.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.*23.5 anointest: Heb. makest fat

6 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.*23.6 for ever: Heb. to length of days

1 'n PSALM van Dawid.

Die Here is my herder; niks sal my ontbreek nie.

2 Hy laat my neerlê in groen weivelde; na waters waar rus is, lei Hy my heen.

3 Hy verkwik my siel; Hy lei my in die spore van geregtigheid, om sy Naam ontwil.

4 Al gaan ek ook in 'n dal van doodskaduwee, ek sal geen onheil vrees nie; want U is met my: u stok en u staf dié vertroos my.

5 U berei die tafel voor my aangesig teenoor my teëstanders; U maak my hoof vet met olie; my beker loop oor.

6 Net goedheid en guns sal my volg al die dae van my lewe; en ek sal in die huis van die Here bly in lengte van dae.
