The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 A psalm of David: ADONAI is my shepherd; I lack nothing.
1
<A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.
2 He has me lie down in grassy pastures, he leads me by quiet water,
2
He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.
3 he restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name.
3
He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.
4 Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me
4
Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort
5 You prepare a table for me, even as my enemies watch; you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup.
5
You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.
6 Goodness and grace will pursue me every day of my life; and I will live in the house of ADONAI for years and years to come.
6
Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
