The Lord is my shepherd;^[b]
    there is nothing I lack.^(A)
2 In green pastures he makes me lie down;
    to still waters he leads me;
^{3     (B)}he restores my soul.
He guides me along right paths^[c]
    for the sake of his name.
⁴ Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,^(C)
    I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff comfort me.

¹¹ Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
    in his arms he gathers the lambs,
Carrying them in his bosom,
    leading the ewes with care.^(A)

⁹ To say to the prisoners: Come out!
    To those in darkness: Show yourselves!
Along the roadways they shall find pasture,
    on every barren height shall their pastures be.^(A)
10 They shall not hunger or thirst;
    nor shall scorching wind or sun strike them;
For he who pities them leads them
    and guides them beside springs of water.^(B)

¹⁷ For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them
    and lead them to springs of life-giving water,^[a]
    and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”^(A)
