PSALM 23 A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2  He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, 3  He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. AMEN
