Psalm 23

The Divine Shepherd

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 right paths^*
for his name’s sake.

⁴ Even though I walk through the darkest valley,^*
I 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
my whole life long.^*
