‏ Psalms 23

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

1The Lord is my ashepherd; I shall not bwant.
 2He makes me lie down in green cpastures.
He leads me beside still waters. ▼
▼Hebrew  beside waters of rest

 3He erestores my soul.
He fleads me in gpaths of righteousness ▼
▼Or  in right paths

for his iname’s sake.
 4Even though I jwalk through the valley of kthe shadow of death, ▼
▼Or  the valley of deep darkness

I will mfear no evil,
for nyou are with me;
your orod and your staff,
they comfort me.
 5You pprepare a table before me
in qthe presence of my enemies;
you ranoint my head with oil;
my scup overflows.
 6Surely ▼
▼Or Only
 goodness and mercy ▼
▼Or steadfast love
 shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall vdwell ▼
▼Or  shall return to dwell
 in the house of the Lord
xforever. ▼
▼Hebrew for length of days
