1(23) A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.
1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.
2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.
3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.
4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5You have prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].
5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
