Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1The Lord is my shepherd,

I lack nothing.

2He takes me to lush pastures,

he leads me to refreshing water.

3He restores my strength.

He leads me down the right paths

for the sake of his reputation.

4Even when I must walk through the darkest valley,

I fear no danger,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff reassure me.

5You prepare a feast before me

in plain sight of my enemies.

You refresh my head with oil;

my cup is completely full.

6Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days,

and I will live in the Lord’s house for the rest of my life.
