A Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.

You make me lie down in green pastures;
You lead me beside quiet waters

You restore my soul;
You guide me in the paths of righteousness
For Your name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
