A Psalm of David

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. 

An Indian Version

The Great father above a shepherd Chief is.  I am His and with Him I want not.

He throws out to me a rope and the name of the rope is love and He draws me to where the grass is green and the water not dangerous, and I eat and lie down and am satisfied.

Sometimes my heart is very weak and falls down but He lifts me up again and draws me into a good road.  His name is WONDERFUL.
Sometime, it may be very soon, it may be a long, long time, He will draw me into a valley.  It is dark there, but I'll be afraid not, for it is in between those mountains that the Shepherd Chief will meet me and the hunger that I have in my heart all through this life will be satisfied.

Sometimes He makes the love rope into a whip, but afterwards He gives me a staff to lean upon. 

He spreads a table before me with all kinds of foods.  He puts His hand upon my head and all the "tired" is gone.  My cup He fills till it runs over.  What I tell is true.  I lie not. 

These roads that are "away ahead" will stay with me through this life and after; and afterwards I will go to live in the Big Tepee and sit down with the Shepherd Chief forever.
