Psalm 23 (ASV)
[1] Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.
[3] He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
[4] Yea, thou 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.
[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
[6] Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.

Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 23 (YLT)
[1] Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack,
[2] In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.
[3] My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name’s sake,
[4] Also-when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff-they comfort me.
[5] Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!
[6] Only-goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
