| 2 | He will cause me to lie down in pastures of tender grass: he will lead me to the water of rest. | He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. | He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, | |
| 3 | He will turn back my soul: he will guide me into the tracks of justice for sake of his name. | He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. | he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. | |
| 4 | Also if I shall go into the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid of evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they will comfort me. | 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. | Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. | |
| 5 | Thou wilt set in order a table before me in front of mine enemies: thou madest fat mine head with oil; my cup being satisfied with drink. | You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. | You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. | |
| 6 | Surely goodness and mercy, shall pursue me all the days of my life: and I dwelt in the house of Jehovah to the length of days. | Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. | Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. | |
