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

Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

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

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside 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 restores my soul. He guides 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.

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 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.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs 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 loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
