Psalm 23
 Psalm 23 
The LORD, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.

A Psalm of David.

1The LORD is my shepherd,
  I shall not want.


2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
  He leads me beside quiet waters.


3He restores my soul;
  He guides me in the paths of righteousness
  For His name’s sake.


4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
  I fear no evil, for You are with me;
  Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.


5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
  You have anointed my head with oil;
  My cup overflows.


6Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
  And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
