Psalm 23:1–6

1 The Lord is my shepherd,t I lack nothing.u

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,v

3 he refreshes my soul.w

He guides mex along the right pathsy

for his name’s sake.z

4 Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,a a

I will fear no evil,b

for you are with me;c

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You prepare a tabled before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;e

my cupf overflows.

6 Surely your goodness and loveg will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.
