A Psalm of David
T
he LORD is my shepherd,I shall not want;
he makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for his names sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
thou anointst my head with oil,
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell
in the house of the LORD
for ever.
Psalm 23
