THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I LACK NOTHING.
HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES,
HE LEADS ME BESIDE QUIET WATERS,
HE REFRESHES MY SOUL.
HE GUIDES ME ALONG THE RIGHT PATHS
OR HIS NAME’S SAKE.
EVEN THOUGH I WALK
THROUGH THE DARKEST VALLEY,[A]
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL,
FOR YOU ARE WITH ME;
YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF,
THEY COMFORT ME. YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME
IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES.
YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL;
MY CUP OVERFLOWS.
SURELY YOUR GOODNESS AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,
AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
FOREVER. AND THE LORD SAID, "GOODNESS AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW YOU - BUT DON'T CALL ME SURELY"
