Psalm 23

The Lord The Shepherd of His People

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is amy shepherd; bI shall not 1want.

2 cHe makes me to lie down in 2green pastures;

dHe leads me beside the 3still waters.

3 He restores my soul;

eHe leads me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of fthe shadow of death,

gI will fear no evil;

hFor You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You iprepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You janoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will 4dwell in the house of the Lord

5Forever.

About The New King James Version

The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.
