¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah `is' my shepherd, I do not lack,

¹⁹ and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

¹¹ `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

¹¹ As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth `them': Suckling ones He leadeth.

²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

³⁰ I and the Father are one.'

¹⁴ `I am the good shepherd, and I know my `sheep', and am known by mine,

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

²⁵ for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

¹⁷ because the Lamb that `is' in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'

¹¹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I -- even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

¹² As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

⁵ Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,'

⁶ so that we do boldly say, `The Lord `is' to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'

⁴ and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

¹¹ For a sun and a shield `is' Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

²⁰ And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus,

⁹ Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

¹⁰ Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

²³ And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them -- my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,

²⁴ And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

³⁰ for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;

³¹ but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

³² `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

⁵² And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,

³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

⁴ And he hath stood and delighted in the strength of Jehovah, In the excellency of the name of Jehovah his God, And they have remained, For now he is great unto the ends of earth.

¹³ And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!

¹ To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. -- A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs -- shine forth,

¹⁰ Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd `doth' his flock,

³ And I do gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the lands whither I drove them, And have brought them back unto their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied.

⁴ And I have raised for them shepherds, And they have fed them, And they fear no more, nor are affrighted, Nor are they lacking -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
