Psalm 23

A Psalm by David.

1The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall lack nothing.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

3He restores my soul.

He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

4Even 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.

5You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup runs over.

6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.
