1 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], [Ezek 34:11-31]

I shall not want.

2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. [Rev 7:17]

3 He refreshes and restores my soul (life);

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

for His name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] *valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You have anointed and refreshed my head with *oil;

My cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.
