English Standard Version ESV
The Message Bible MSG
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
1
God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
2
You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from.
3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
3
True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.
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.
4
Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
5
You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
6
Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.
