1. Mizmor L’ David: Hashem Roee, loh echsar
מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד: ה' רֹעִי, לֹא אֶחְסָר
A Psalm of David: Hashem is my shepherd; I shall not want

2. Been-ot desheh, yahrbiytzeniy; ahl-meyi m’nuchot ynahalenee
בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא, יַרְבִּיצֵנִי; עַל-מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי
He causes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters

3. Nafshi yeshovev; yancheni b’mahglay-tzedek l’ma-an sh’moh
נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב; יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי-צֶדֶק, לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ
He restores my soul; He guides me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake

4. --Gam ki elech, b’geyi tzalmavet, loh-eerah rah
kyi atah eemadee, Shivt’cha U’meshantecha, hemah yenachamuni
גַּם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת, לֹא-אִירָא רָע--
כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ,הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי
Even when I walk, in the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil
for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me

5. Ta-aroch l’fanayi, shulchan-- neged tzor'rayi;
Dishanta Vashemen roshyi, kosee r’vayah
תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי, שֻׁלְחָן-- נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי;
דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי, כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה
You set a table-- before me in the presence of my adversaries;
You anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows

6. Ach, tov va'chesed yirdfoonyi-- kol-ymeyi chayahyi,
V’shavti b'Veyit Hashem, l’orech yamiyim
אַךְ, טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי-- כָּל-יְמֵי חַיָּי
וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-ה', לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים
Surely, goodness and loving kindness will pursue me-- all-the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of Hashem, for length of days
