A Psalm of David,

Adonoy is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing.

In lush pastures He makes me lie,

besides tranquil waters, He leads me.

My soul, He restores,

He directs me in paths of righteousness

for the sake of His Name.

Though I walk

in 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.

You prepare a table for me

in the full presence of my enemies,

You annointed my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

[May] only good and kindness pursue me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the House of Adonoy

for long days.

Exalted and sanctified be His great Name

in the world which He created

according to His will

and may He rule His kingdom

bring forth His redemption

and hasten the coming of His Mashiach.

In your lifetime and in your days,

and in the lifetime

of the entire House of Israel,

speedily and in the near future—

and say Amein.

May His great Name be blessed

forever and for all eternity.

Blessed and praised,

which we utter in the world—and say Amein.
