Salmene 23,1

Herren er min hyrde,
jeg mangler ingenting.

2 Han lar meg ligge i grønne enger;
Han leder meg til hvilens vann.

3 Han fornyer min sjel;
Han leder meg på rettferdighetens stier
for sitt navns skyld.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
