Psalm 23

¹The LORD is my shepherd.

I lack nothing.

²He lets me rest in grassy meadows;

he leads me to restful waters;

He guides me in proper paths

for the sake of his good name.

⁴Even when I walk through the darkest valley,

I fear no danger because you are with me.

Your rod and your staff—

they protect me.

⁵You set a table for me

right in front of my enemies.

You bathe my head in oil;

my cup is so full it spills over!

⁶Yes, goodness and faithful love

will pursue me all the days of my life,

and I will live in the LORD ’s house

as long as I live.
