1

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2     

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

he leads me beside still waters;

3     

he restores my soul.

He leads me in right paths^[

for his name’s sake.

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.

5

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

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.
