1 T he Lord is my Shepherd. I will have everything I need.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 H e lets me rest in fields of green grass. He leads me beside the quiet waters.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 H e makes me strong again. He leads me in the way of living right with Himself which brings honor to His name.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Y es, even if I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of anything, because You are with me. You have a walking stick with which to guide and one with which to help. These comfort me.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Y ou are making a table of food ready for me in front of those who hate me. You have poured oil on my head. I have everything I need.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 F or sure, You will give me goodness and loving-kindness all the days of my life. Then I will live with You in Your house forever.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
