1  The Lord is my ^bshepherd; ^cI shall not want.

2  He makes me lie down in ^dgreen pastures.

He ^eleads me beside still waters.¹

3  He ^frestores my soul.

He ^gleads me in ^hpaths of righteousness²

ⁱfor his name’s sake.

4  ^jEven though I walk through the valley of the ^kshadow of death,³

I will fear no evil,

for you are ^lwith me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5  You prepare a ^mtable before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6  Surely⁴ goodness and mercy⁵ shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall ⁿdwell⁶ in the house of the Lord

forever.⁷
