1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley [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.5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
(Psalm 23)
