Psalms 23

Psalm 23

The Good Shepherd

A psalm of David.

1The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need.2

3He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters.4

5He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake.6

7Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff — they comfort me.8

9You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.10

11Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.12
