PSALM 23
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
2He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
3My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
ev'n for his own name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill:
For thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
5My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
6Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
And in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.

Psalms 23
23
The Lord the Shepherd
A song of David.
1The Lord is my shepherd.
I have everything I need.
2He gives me rest in green pastures.
He leads me to calm water.
3He gives me new strength.
For the good of his name,
he leads me on paths that are right.
4Even if I walk
through a very dark valley,
I will not be afraid
because you are with me.
Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me.
5You prepare a meal for me
in front of my enemies.
You pour oil of blessing on my head.# This can mean that God gave him great wealth and blessed him.
You give me more than I can hold.
6Surely your goodness and love will be with me
all my life.
And I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
