He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths of righteousness

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
For You are with me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of theLord forever.
