The Lord the Shepherd of His People

A Psalm of David.
  1The Lordismy shepherd;
   I shall not want.
   2He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
   He leads me beside the still waters.
   3He restores my soul;
   He leads me in the paths of righteousness
   For His name’s sake.
  4Yea, 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.
  5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
   You anoint my head with oil;
   My cup runs over.
   6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
   All the days of my life;
   And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
   Forever.
