Psalm 23

1 The LORD is the one who is shepherding me; I lack nothing.

2 He causes me to lie down in pastures of green grass; he guides me beside quiet waters.

3 He revives my life; he leads me in pathways that are righteous for the sake of his name. a

4 Even when I walk through a valley of deep darkness, b I will not be afraid because you are with me. Your rod and your staff—they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me, even in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Truly, goodness and gracious love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will remain in c the LORD’s Temple forever. d
