1 A Psalm of David. 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.
