Yahweh Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
23 Yahweh is my (A)shepherd,
I [a]shall (B)not want.
2 He makes me lie down in (C)green pastures;
He (D)leads me beside [b](E)quiet waters.
3 He (F)restores my soul;
He (G)guides me in the [c](H)paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I (I)walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I (J)fear no [e]evil, for (K)You are with me;
Your (L)rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You (M)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have (N)anointed my head with oil;
My (O)cup overflows.
6 [g]Surely (P)goodness and lovingkindness will [h]pursue me all the days of my life,
And I will [i](Q)dwell in the house of Yahweh [j]forever.
17 (A)Panic and pit and pitfall
Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Then it will be that he who flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit,
And he who [a]climbs out of the pit will be caught in the pitfall;
For the (B)windows [b]above are opened, and the (C)foundations of the earth quake.
19 (D)The earth is broken asunder;
The earth is (E)split through;
The earth is shaken violently.
20 The earth (F)reels to and fro like a drunkard
And it totters like a [c]shack,
For its (G)transgression is heavy upon it,
And it will fall, (H)never to rise again.
21 So it will be in that day,
That Yahweh will (I)punish the host of heights on high,
And the (J)kings of the earth on earth.
22 They will be gathered together
Like (K)prisoners in the [d]pit,
And will be confined in prison;
And after many days they will (L)be punished.
23 Then the (M)moon will be humiliated and the sun ashamed,
For (N)Yahweh of hosts will reign on (O)Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.
18 (A)And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they *came and *said to Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “Can [a]the attendants of the bridegroom fast when the bridegroom is with them? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the (B)days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 “No one sews [b]a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise [c]that patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”
