safety

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
   Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me.
 
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

   You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
my whole life long.
