Psalm 23

A Psalm by David.

23 Yahweh is my shepherd:

    I shall lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.

    He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul.

    He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

    I will fear no evil, for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me

    in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil.

    My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,

    and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
