¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack, ² In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me. ³ My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake, ⁴ Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff—they comfort me. ⁵ Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full! ⁶ Only—goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, ² `Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed? ³ The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not. ⁴ The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour. ⁵ And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered. ⁶ Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
⁷ Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah: ⁸ I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed. ⁹ Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah: ¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food. 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. ¹³ And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land. ¹⁴ With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel. ¹⁵ I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. ¹⁶ The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.
¹⁷ And you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats. ¹⁸ Is it a little thing for you—the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample, ¹⁹ And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh? ²⁰ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep. ²¹ Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place, ²² And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep. 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. ²⁵ And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests. ²⁶ And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are. ²⁷ And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I am Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them. ²⁸ And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling. ²⁹ And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations. ³⁰ And they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, am with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. ³¹ And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye are —I am your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

¹ `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber; <sup>2</sup> and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep; <sup>3</sup> to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth; <sup>4</sup> and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice; <sup>5</sup> and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.' <sup>6</sup> This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them; <sup>7</sup> Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you—I am the door of the sheep; ⁸ all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them; ⁹ I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. ¹⁰ `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. <sup>11</sup> `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep; ¹² and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep; ¹³ and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep. ¹⁴ `I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine, ¹⁵ according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep, ¹⁶ and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock—one shepherd.

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

³ Know that Jehovah He is God, He made us, and we are His, His people—and the flock of His pasture.
