« | Psalm 23 | » |
1 A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 In a place of green grass, there He has made me dwell; He has nourished me by the water of rest.
3 He has restored my soul; He has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for His name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You have prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; and Your cup cheers me like the best [wine].
6 Your mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
