Psalms 23
The Shepherd Stays Beside Me
Open in the reader →A psalm of David.
1Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.
2In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; beside quiet waters he leads me.
3He restores my soul; he leads me in paths of righteousness for the sake of his name.
4Even though I walk through the valley of deep darkness, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
5You set a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and steadfast love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will return to the house of Yahweh for a long time.
