1 The Lord is my shepherd,(A) I lack nothing.(B)2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters,(C)3     he refreshes my soul.(D)He guides me(E) along the right paths(F)    for his name’s sake.(G)4 Even though I walk    through the darkest valley,[a](H)I will fear no evil,(I)    for you are with me;(J)your rod and your staff,    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table(K) before me    in the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil;(L)    my cup(M) overflows.6 Surely your goodness and love(N) will follow me    all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the house of the Lord    forever.
