23
1 (Mizmor of Dovid)
Hashem is my Ro'eh (Shepherd);
I shall not lack.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the mei menuchot (tranquil waters).
3 He restoreth my nefesh;
He guideth me in the paths of tzedek l'ma'an Shmo
(righteousness for the sake of His Name).
4 Yea, 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.
5 Thou preparest a shulchan before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with shemen (olive oil);
my kos runneth over.
6 Surely 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).
