1

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures. Visual imagery of peace and restfulness.

He leads me beside still waters. Imagery of tranquility

3

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through 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 goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.
