The Lord, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.
A Psalm of David.
1The Lord is my shepherd,
I [a]shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside [b]quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the [c]paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4Even though I walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no [e]evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6[g]Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [h]dwell in the house of the Lord [i]forever.
