International Standard Version

1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

1The LORD is the one who is shepherding me; I lack nothing.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

2He causes me to lie down in pastures of green grass; he guides me beside quiet waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

3He revives my life; he leads me in pathways that are righteous for the sake of his name.

4Yea, 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.

4Even when I walk through a valley of deep darkness, I will not be afraid because you are with me. Your rod and your staff—they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

5You prepare a table before me, even in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

6Truly, goodness and gracious love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the LORD's Temple forever.
