Psalm 23:1-6

Psalm

A melody of David.

23 Jehovah is my Shepherd.+

I will lack nothing.+

2 In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;

He leads me to well-watered resting-places.*+

3 He refreshes me.*+

He leads me in the paths* of righteousness for the sake of his name.+

4 Though I walk in the valley of deep shadow,+

I fear no harm,+

For you are with me;+

Your rod and your staff reassure me.*

5 You prepare a table for me before my enemies.+

You refresh* my head with oil;+

My cup is well-filled.+

6 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life,+

And I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for all my days.+
