The Loʀᴅ, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.
A Psalm of David.
1 The Loʀᴅ is my Ashepherd,
I 1shall Bnot want.
2 He makes me lie down in Agreen pastures;
He Bleads me beside 1Cquiet waters.
3 He Arestores my soul;
He Bguides me in the 1Cpaths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
 
4  Even though I Awalk through the 1valley of the shadow of death,
I Bfear no 2evil, for CYou are with me;
Your Drod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You Aprepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You 1have Banointed my head with oil;
My Ccup overflows.
6  1Surely Agoodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will 2Bdwell in the house of the Loʀᴅ 3forever.
