1 The Lord is my shepherd,

I will not be in need.

2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside *23:2 Lit waters of restquiet waters.

3 He restores my soul;

He guides me in the *23:3 Lit trackspaths of righteousness

For the sake of His name.

4 Even though I walk through the *23:4 Or valley of deep darknessvalley of the shadow of death,

I fear no *23:4 Or harmevil, 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 *23:5 Or anointhave anointed my head with oil;

My cup overflows.

6 * 23:6 Or Only Certainly goodness and *23:6 Or mercyfaithfulness will follow me all the days of my life,

And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord*23:6 Lit for length of daysforever.
