Psalm 23 (WEBP)
[1] Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.
[2] He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
[3] He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
[4] Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
[5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
[6] Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

[1] [22:1] ψαλμος τω δαυιδ κυριος ποιμαινει με και ουδεν με υστερησει
[2] [22:2] εις τοπον χλοης εκει με κατεσκηνωσεν επι υδατος αναπαυσεως εξεθρεψεν με
[3] [22:3] την ψυχην μου επεστρεψεν ωδηγησεν με επι τριβους δικαιοσυνης ενεκεν του ονοματος αυτου
[4] [22:4] εαν γαρ και πορευθω εν μεσω σκιας θανατου ου φοβηθησομαι κακα οτι συ μετ εμου ει η ραβδος σου και η βακτηρια σου αυται με παρεκαλεσαν
[5] [22:5] ητοιμασας ενωπιον μου τραπεζαν εξ εναντιας των θλιβοντων με ελιπανας εν ελαιω την κεφαλην μου και το ποτηριον σου μεθυσκον ως κρατιστον
