The LORD Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

¹ The LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

² He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

³ He restores my soul;^*

He guides me in the paths^* of righteousness

for the sake of His name.

⁴ Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,^*

I will 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 will follow me^*

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

forever.
