Mizmor le'David,
Hashem roei lo echsar.

Binot desheh yarbitzaini, al mei menuchot yenahaleini.

Nafshi yeshovev yancheini bemagalei tzedek lema'an shemo.

Gam ki elech be'gei tzalmavet, lo ira ra ki ata imadi, shivtecha u'mishantecha hema yenachamuni.

Ta'aroch lefanai shulchan neged tzorerai, dishanta vashemen roshi, cosi revayah.

Ach tov va'chesed yirdifuni kol yemei hayai ve'shavti be'veit Hashem lorech yamim.
מִזְמור לְדָוִד, ה׳ רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר.

בִּנְאוֹת דֶשֶׁא יֵרְבִּיצֵנִי, עַל-מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי.

נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב, יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְלֵי-צֶדֶק לְמֵעֵן שְׁמוֹ.

גַם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת לֹא-אִירָא רָע כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָדִי, שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָה יְנַחֲמֻנִי.

תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי שֻׁלְחָן נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי, דִשַנְתָּ בַשֶמֶן רֹאשִי כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה.

אַךְ, טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְפוּנִי כָּל-יְמֵי חַיָי, וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-ה׳ לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים.

Translation:

A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd;​ I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:​
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth​ my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteous​ness 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.
Thou preparest​ a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest​ my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surel​y goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Information:

This Psalm is sung on several occasions during Shabbos, but it is usually also sung mournfully as the daylight fades at the end of the day of rest.
