Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

• 23 The LORD is my shepherd.
• I lack nothing.
• ² He lets me rest in grassy meadows;
• he leads me to restful waters;
• ³ he keeps me ^p alive.
• He guides me in proper paths
• for the sake of his good name.

• ⁴ Even when I walk through the darkest valley,
• I fear no danger because you are with me.
• Your rod and your staff—
• they protect me.

• ⁵ You set a table for me
• right in front of my enemies.
• You bathe my head in oil;
• my cup is so full it spills over!
• ⁶ Yes, goodness and faithful love
• will pursue me all the days of my life,
• and I will live^q in the LORD ’s house
• as long as I live.
