Psalms 23

   |   

The Lord, the Psalmist's Shepherd.

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my (a)shepherd,
I [a]shall (b)not want.
2 He makes me lie down in (c)green pastures;
He (d)leads me beside [b](e)quiet waters.
3 He (f)restores my soul;
He (g)guides me in the [c](h)paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.

4 Even though I (i)walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I (j)fear no [e]evil, for (k)You are with me;
Your (l)rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You (m)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have (n)anointed my head with oil;
My (o)cup overflows.
6 [g]Surely (p)goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [h](q)dwell in the house of the Lord [i]forever.
