1 The Lord is my shepherd.

I am never in need.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside peaceful waters.

3 He renews my soul.

He guides me along the paths of righteousness

for the sake of his name.

4 Even though I walk through the dark valley of death,

because you are with me, I fear no harm.

Your rod and your staff give me courage.

5 You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

6 Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life,

and I will remain in the Lord’s house for days without end.
