1The LORD is my shepherd; I lack nothing. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. 3He restores my soul; he guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4Even when I walk through the valley of deep darkness, I will 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. 6Surely goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for length of days.
