He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,(A)
    he refreshes my soul.(B)
He guides me(C) along the right paths(D)
    for his name’s sake.(E)
Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a](F)
I will fear no evil,(G)
    for you are with me;(H)
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

You prepare a table(I) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;(J)
    my cup(K) overflows.
Surely your goodness and love(L) will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

  1. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death

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

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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.

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

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