¹   The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. 
²        He makes me lie down in green pastures; 
     he leads me beside still waters; 
³        he restores my soul. 
     He leads me in right paths 
          for his name’s sake. 

⁴   Even though I walk through the darkest valley, 
          I fear no evil; 
     for you are with me; 
          your rod and your staff — 
          they comfort me.

⁵   You prepare a table before me 
          in the presence of my enemies; 
     you anoint my head with oil; 
          my cup overflows. 
⁶   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 
          all the days of my life, 
     and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD 
          my whole life long.
