| 1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. | 1A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. |
| 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. | 2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, |
| 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. | 3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. |
| 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 though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for 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 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. | 6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. |
