Psalm 23

My Guardian guides me;
I lack nothing.

Godde invites me to rest on the verdant land;
            leads me to quiet waters –
            renews my life.

Godde guides me on the paths
that reveal Godde's integrity.

Even when I walk through a valley
darkened by death's shadow
I fear no harm, for you are with me;

I am comforted by your support.

You spread a table for me
in full view of my enemies;

you anoint my head with blessing,
I drink abundance …

Only goodness and steadfast love pursue me
all the days of my life,

I shall dwell in the house of my Guardian
forever.
