Psalms 23

A psalm of David.

23:1 The Lord is my shepherd,
I lack nothing.

23:2 He takes me to lush pastures,
he leads me to refreshing water.

23:3 He restores my strength.
He leads me down the right paths
for the sake of his reputation.

23:4 Even when I must walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff reassure me.

23:5 You prepare a feast before me
in plain sight of my enemies.
You refresh my head with oil;
my cup is completely full.

23:6 Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days,
and I will live in the Lord’s house for the rest of my life.
