Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the 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 loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.
