The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
1
<A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters;
2
He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.
3 he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
3
He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort 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 before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
5
You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
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.
