Psalms 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Study Note
The opening declaration 'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want' is arguably the most widely memorized and recited verse in all of Scripture. Shepherd imagery for deity is well attested in the ancient Near East, but Israel's use of it personalizes the relationship ('my shepherd') rather than applying it generically. The assertion 'I shall not want' is not a promise of material abundance but a confidence that the shepherd's care renders essential needs met. The psalm has accompanied the dying across traditions and centuries, and Jesus's self-identification as the 'Good Shepherd' in John 10 explicitly evokes its language.
