Psalm 23

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd,^a I lack nothing.^b

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,^c

he refreshes my soul.^d

He guides me^e along the right paths^f

for his name’s sake.^g

Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,^h

I will fear no evil,ⁱ

for you are with me;^j

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table^k before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;^l

my cup^m overflows.

Surely your goodness and loveⁿ will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.
