Psalm 23

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

 1 The Lord is my shepherd;  I have all that I need.

2 He lets me rest in green   meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

3 He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.

4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.


 5 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.


 6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
