Gam Ki Eilekh (Psalm 23)
“Walking in the Valley of the Shadow of Death”

גַּם כִּי־אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת
לֹא־אִירָא רָע כִּי־אַתָּה עִמָּדִי
שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי
שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי

תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי שֻׁלְחָן נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי
דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי
כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה, רְוָיָה
כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה, רְוָיָה

אַךְ טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי כָּל־יְמֵי חַיָּי
וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְיָ
לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים
לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים

גַּם כִּי־אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת
לֹא־אִירָא רָע כִּי־אַתָּה עִמָּדִי
שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי
שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי

“Even in the darkest valley
I fear no harm, for You are with me
Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me

You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows

Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue me
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
For many long years”
