Summer in the Psalms 05 - Psalm 23

Psalm 23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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 right paths

    for his name’s sake.

4 

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,

    I 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 goodness and mercy shall follow me

    all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

    my whole life long.
