| The Lord is my shepherd. | Yahweh is my shepherd, |
| I shall not want. | I lack nothing. |
| . | . |
| He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. | In meadows of green grass he lets me lie. |
| He leadeth me beside the still waters. | To the waters of repose he leads me; |
| He restoreth my soul. | there he revives my soul. |
| . | . |
| He guideth me in the paths of virtue | He guides me by paths of virtue |
| for his name's sake. | for the sake of his name. |
| . | . |
Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, | Though
I pass through a gloomy valley, |
| I shall fear no evil. | I fear no harm; |
| Thy rod and thy staff | beside me your rod and your staff |
| they comfort me. | are there, to hearten me. |
| . | . |
| Thou preparest a table before me | You prepare a table before me |
| in the presence of mine enemies. | under the eyes of my enemies; |
| Thou anointest my head with oil. | You anoint my head with oil, |
| My cup runneth over. | my cup brims over. |
| . | . |
| Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me | Ah, how goodness and kindness pursue me, |
| all the days of my life, | every day of my life; |
| And I shall dwell in the House of the Lord | my home, the House of Yahweh, |
| forever. | as long as I live. |
