A psalm of David.The LORD is my shepherd;I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures;He leads me to water in places of repose;-a He renews my life;He guides me in right pathsas befits His name. Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness,-bI fear no harm, for You are with me;Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me. You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil;my drink is abundant. Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue meall the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the LORDfor many long years.
A psalm of David.
GOD is my shepherd;
I lack nothing.
[God] makes me lie down in green pastures,
and leads me to water in places of repose—
renewing my life,
guiding me in the right paths
as befits the divine name.
Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness,
I fear no harm, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.
You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my drink is abundant.
Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in GOD’s house
for many long years.
