1A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me. 2He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment. 3He has converted my soul.

Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation. 5You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me.
