¹(24) A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

¹A Psalm by David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.

²He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

²He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

³Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

³He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

⁴He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

⁴Even 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.

⁵He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

⁵You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. Pause.

⁶Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
