Psalm 23 – The Good Shepherd

Revision 2

23 A psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

2 He lays me down in green pastures.

He gently leads me to waters of rest,

3 he refreshes my life.

He guides me along paths that are straight,

true to his name.

4 And when my way lies through a valley of gloom,

I fear no evil, for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff comfort me.

5 You spread a table for me

in face of my foes;

with oil you anoint my head,

and my cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and love will pursue me –

all the days of my life.

In the house of the Lord I will live

through the length of the days.
