Psalm 23, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1The LORD is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
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.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD’s house forever.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
