1A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing.
1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou hast prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best [wine].
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
