Psalm 23

The LORD Is My Shepherd

(A Psalm of David.)

1	The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2		He makes me lie down in green pastures.
	He leads me beside still waters.
3		He restores my soul.
	He leads me in paths of righteousness
		for his name's sake.

1	[The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.]
4	Even though I walk through the valley of the sha~dow of death,
		I will fear no evil,
	for you are with me;
		your rod and your staff,
		they comfort me.

1	[The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.]
5	You prepare a table before me
		in the presence of my enemies;
	you anoint my head with oil;
		my cup overflows.
6	Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
		all the days of my life,
	and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
		forev~er.
