Psalm 23

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from.

He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His names sake.

True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.
