1   A psalm of David.

  Yahweh is my shepherd;

  I will not lack for anything.

2   In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;

  by quiet waters he leads me.

3   He restores my life.

  He leads me in correct paths

  for the sake of his name.

4   Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil

  because you are with me.

  Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5   You prepare before me a table

  in the presence of my oppressors.

  You anoint my head with oil;

  my cup is overflowing.

6   Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me

  all the days of my life,

  and I will stay in the house of Yahweh

  for a very long time.
