That is Psalm 23, from the Old Testament of the Bible. It was written by God through the pen of King David. It is considered one of the great Psalms of comfort and is often quoted. (Psalms were written as songs but no music was written so the tunes were not passed down through time.)

Jewish tradition maintains that the Psalms are the work of David (seventy-three Psalms are with David's name), basing himself on the writings of ten ancient psalmists (including Adam and Moses). Many modern scholars see them as the product of several authors or groups of authors, many unknown. Most Psalms are prefixed with introductory words (which are frequently different in the Masoretic and Septuagint traditions, or missing in one while present in the other) ascribing them to a particular author or saying something, often in fairly cryptic language, about the circumstances of their composition; only 73 of these introductions claim David as author. Since the Psalms were not written down in Hebrew before the 6th century BCE, nearly half a millennium after David's reign (about 1000 BCE), they doubtless depended on oral or hymnic tradition for transmission of any Davidic material.

"Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want."
So, that would be David, as in King David. Before being called by God and anointed as King, David, son of Jesse, was a shepherd. His time caring for the sheep gave him unique insight into the character of God. God cares for us, His children, much as the Shepherd cares for his sheeps -- protecting, providing, guiding.
