Tehillim 23

1 Hashem is my Ro'eh (Shepherd) ;

I shall not lack.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me beside the mei menuchot (tranquil waters) .

3He restoreth my nefesh;

He guideth me in the paths of tzedek l'ma'an Shmo

(righteousness for the sake of His Name) .

4Yea, though I walk through the Gey Tzalmavet (Valley of the Shadow of Death) ,

I will fear no rah (evil) ;

for Thou art with me;

Thy shevet (rod) and Thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a shulchan before me

in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with shemen (olive oil) ;

my kos runneth over.

6Surely tov and chesed shall follow me

kol y'mei chaiyyai (all the days of my life) :

and I will dwell in the Bais Hashem

l'orech yamim (for length of days, whole life long, forever) .
