Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

1. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3. He restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
