The Book of Psalms

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

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.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD’s house forever.
