PSALMS 23

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd;I lack nothing.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me to water in places of repose;

3He renews my life;He guides me in right paths

as befits His name.4Though I walk through a valley of

deepest darkness,I fear no harm, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me. 5You spread a table for me in full view

of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil;

my drink is abundant.6Only goodness and steadfast love shall

pursue meall the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for many long years.
