BibleHearthPsalm 23 (BSB)
The Lord Is My Shepherd
1A Psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd;23:1 See Revelation 7:17.
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
for the sake of His name.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,23:4 Or the valley of deep darkness
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.23:6 Literally for a length of days
