| מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑דיְהוָ֥ה רֹ֝עִ֗י לֹ֣א אֶחְסָֽר׃ | 1 | A psalm by David. YHWH is my shepherd; I will never lack [anything]. |
| בִּנְא֣וֹת דֶּ֭שֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵ֑נִי עַל־מֵ֖י מְנֻח֣וֹת יְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃ | 2 | He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me to water where I can rest. |
| נַפְשִׁ֥י יְשׁוֹבֵ֑ב יַֽנְחֵ֥נִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי־צֶ֝֗דֶק לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֽוֹ׃ | 3 | He restores my life. He leads me in paths of righteousness for the sake of his name. |
| גַּ֤ם כִּֽי־אֵלֵ֨ךְ בְּגֵ֪יא צַלְמָ֡וֶת לֹא־אִ֘ירָ֤א רָ֗ע כִּי־אַתָּ֥ה עִמָּדִ֑י שִׁבְטְךָ֥ וּ֝מִשְׁעַנְתֶּ֗ךָ הֵ֣מָּה יְנַֽחֲמֻֽנִי׃ | 4 | Even when I walk in a valley of darkness, I will not fear harm, because you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. |
| תַּעֲרֹ֬ךְ לְפָנַ֨י ׀ שֻׁלְחָ֗ן נֶ֥גֶד צֹרְרָ֑י דִּשַּׁ֖נְתָּ בַשֶּׁ֥מֶן רֹ֝אשִׁ֗י כּוֹסִ֥י רְוָיָֽה׃ | 5 | You arrange a table before me in the presence of my adversaries. You have anointed my head with oil. My cup is overflowing. |
| אַ֤ךְ ׀ ט֤וֹב וָחֶ֣סֶד יִ֭רְדְּפוּנִי כָּל־יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֑י וְשַׁבְתִּ֥י בְּבֵית־יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְאֹ֣רֶךְ יָמִֽים׃ | 6 | Surely goodness and loyalty will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in YHWH’s house for as long as I live. |
