Psalms 23

1A psalm of David. GOD is my shepherd;I lack nothing.

2[God] makes me lie down in green pastures,and leads me to water in places of repose—

3renewing my life,guiding me in the right pathsas befits the divine name.

4Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness, I fear no harm, for You are with me;Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

5You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil;my drink is abundant.

6Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue meall the days of my life,and I shall dwell in GOD’s housefor many long years.
