1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint
my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I
will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

1
Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--
3
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and
compassion,
5
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is
renewed like the eagle's.
6
The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
8
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in
love.
9
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbour his anger forever;
10
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our
iniquities.
11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for
those who fear him;
12
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our
transgressions from us.
13
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion
on those who fear him;
14
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
15
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the
field;
16
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no
more.
17
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who
fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--
18
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
19
The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules
over all.
20
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who
obey his word.
21
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his
will.
22
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the
LORD, O my soul.
