1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.*

2He makes me lie down in green pastures;

he leads me beside still waters;m^,*

3he restores my soul.n

He leads me in right pathso

for his name’s sake.*

4Even though I walk through the darkest valley,p

I fear no evil,

for 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.*

6Surelyq goodness and mercyr shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

my whole life long.s^,*
