and gives me all I need;
he leads me by refreshing streams;
in pastures green I feed.
2 The LORD revives my failing strength,
he makes my joy complete;
and in right paths, for his name's sake,
he guides my faltering feet.
3 Though in a valley dark as death,
no evil makes me fear;
your shepherd's staff protects my way,
for you are with me there.
4 While all my enemies look on,
you spread a royal feast;
you fill my cup, anoint my head,
and treat me as your guest.
5 Your goodness and your gracious love
pursue me all my days;
your house, O LORD, shall be my home
your name, my endless praise.
