The Lord tends me as a shepherd,

And I shall want nothing.

2 In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell:

He has nourished me by the water of rest.

3 He has restored my soul:

He has guided me into the paths of righteousness,

For his name’s sake.

4 Yea, 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.

5 Thou 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.

6 Thy 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.
