Psalm 23

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3    he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a]
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 overflows.
6Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
