Bible Passage: Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

¹ The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²     He makes me lie down in green pastures.

  He leads me beside still waters.

³     He restores my soul.

  He leads me in paths of righteousness

    for his name’s sake.

⁴ Even 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.

⁵ You prepare a table before me

    in the presence of my enemies;

  you anoint my head with oil;

    my cup overflows.

⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

    all the days of my life,

  and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.
