Usually, this Psalm is associated with times of distress. But the words are actually an affirmation of the fact that God is with us at all times. Surely that is worthy of celebration.

Mizmor LeDavid
Adonai Ro'i
Lo Echsar

Binot Deshe Yarbitzeni,
Al Mei Menuchot Yenahaleni.
Nafshi Yeshovev, Yancheni
VeMaglei Tzedek Lema'an Shemo.

Gam Ki Elech BeGei Tzalmavet
Lo Ira Ra Ki Atah Imadi
Shivtecha U'Mishantecha
Heimah Yenachamuni

Ta'aroch Lefanai Shulchan
Neged Tzorerai
Dishanta VaShemen Roshi
Kosi Revayah

Ach Tov VaChesed Yirdefuni
Kol Yemei Chayai
VeShavti BeVeit Adonai
Le'Orech Yamim

Adonai is my shepherd, I shall not want. God makes me lie down in green pastures. God leads me beside the still waters. God renews my life. God leads me in the paths of righteousness, as befits God's name. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 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 is abundantly filled. Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of Adonai forever.
