1A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

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

2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

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

3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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