Good reason this is a perennial favorite...
Note that "goodness and mercy" doesn't "follow"..."goodness and mercy"
pursues us... (not how it is translated in the NRSV, or KJV, but the accurate translation, nevertheless)
All the better...don't you think?
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall [pursue] me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.
