| Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. | 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. |
| 2 He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water. | 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, |
| 3 He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised. | 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. |
| 4 Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me. | 4 Even 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. |
| 5 You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim. | 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. |
| 6 I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live. | 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. |
