Psalms 23

   |   

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

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

4 Even though I (h)walk through the valley of (i)the shadow of death,[c]
    I will (j)fear no 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 (n)the presence of my enemies;
you (o)anoint my head with oil;
    my (p)cup overflows.
6 Surely[d] goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall (q)dwell[f] in the house of the Lord
    (r)forever.[g]
