Revised Standard Version RSV
Good News Translation GNT
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;
1
The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.
2 he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;
2
He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.
3 he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
3
He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me
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
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.
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.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
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.
