Psalms 23   A Psalm of David

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
4 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.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
KJV

Let's take a look-see at the rendering of Psalm 23 in The Message:
Psalms 23   A David psalm 

1 GOD, my shepherd!
I don't need a thing. 
2 You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
You find me quiet pools to drink from. 

3 True to Your word,
You let me catch my breath 
and send me in the right direction. 

4 Even when the way goes through 
Death Valley,
I'm not afraid 
when You walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd's crook 
makes me feel secure. 

5 You serve me a six-course dinner 
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing. 

6 Your beauty and love chase after me 
every day of my life.
I'm back home in the house of GOD
for the rest of my life.
