Psalm 23

(A psalm by David.) The Good Shepherd

 ¹You, LORD, are my shepherd.

   I will never be in need.

    ²You let me rest in fields

   of green grass.

   You lead me to streams

   of peaceful water,

    ³and you refresh my life.

   You are true to your name,

   and you lead me

   along the right paths.

    ⁴I may walk through valleys

   as dark as death,

   but I won't be afraid.

   You are with me,

   and your shepherd's rod makes me feel safe.

    ⁵You treat me to a feast,

   while my enemies watch.

   You honor me as your guest,

   and you fill my cup

   until it overflows.

    ⁶Your kindness and love

   will always be with me

   each day of my life,

   and I will live forever

   in your house, LORD.
