1 A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

2 He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

3 He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

4 Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

5 You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

6 Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

1 Yahweh is my shepherd;

I shall lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul.

He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

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

I will 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 runs over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
