Psalm 23
The LORD Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters1.
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness2
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death3,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
