The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.[Nor shall I be longing for things the greedy flaunt]
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
[Where I can release life's many pressures]
He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
[Then reminds me He's still God and I'm not in control]
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
[He brings me back to His road when the other paths I take]
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
[And intentionally or otherwise be short or run out of breath]
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
[And I will not I fret or fuss or worry]
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
[They keep me where I need to be]
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
[You also prevent me from turning into one of these]
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
[Your love and kindness through me hopefully shows]
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
[Till the sun hides from day and the moon from night]
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
[No, nothing can top that ever!]
