The superscription 'A Psalm of David' is omitted here. 'The valley of the shadow of death' renders gei tsalmavet, which many now read as 'darkest valley'; the traditional rendering imports death that the Hebrew may not require.

Text
Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 1
