Psalms

A psalm of David. GOD is my shepherd;I lack nothing.

[God] makes me lie down in green pastures,and leads me to water in places of repose—awater in places of repose In contrast to others “still waters.”

renewing my life,guiding me in the right pathsas befits the divine name.

Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness,ba valley of deepest darkness In contrast to others “the valley of the shadow of death.” I fear no harm, for You are with me;Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil;my drink is abundant.

Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue meall the days of my life,and I shall dwell in GOD’s housefor many long years.
