The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

¹The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.1

³He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness2

for his name's sake.

⁴Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,3

I will fear no 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 anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

⁶Surely4 goodness and mercy5 shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell6 in the house of the Lord

forever.7
