A Psalm of David.

The Lord Is My Shepherd

יְהוָה רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָֽר׃
1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵנִי עַל-מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃
2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב יַֽנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי-צֶדֶק לְמַעַן שְׁמֽוֹ׃
3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
גַּם כִּֽי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת לֹא-אִירָא רָע כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַֽחֲמֻֽנִי׃
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.
תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי׀ שֻׁלְחָן נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי כּוֹסִי רְוָיָֽה׃
5
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
אַךְ׀ טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי כָּל-יְמֵי חַיָּי וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-יְהוָה לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִֽים׃
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.
