23
The Divine Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
1The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;#23.2 Heb waters of rest
3he restores my soul.#23.3 Or life
He leads me in right paths#23.3 Or paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4Even though I walk through the darkest valley,#23.4 Or the valley of the shadow of death
I 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#23.6 Or Only goodness and mercy#23.6 Or kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.#23.6 Heb for length of days

Psalm 23
A psalm by David.
1The Lord is my shepherd.
I am never in need.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside peaceful waters.
3He renews my soul.
He guides me along the paths of righteousness
for the sake of his name.
4Even though I walk through the dark valley of death,
because you are with me, I fear no harm.
Your rod and your staff give me courage.
5You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup overflows.
6Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life,
and I will remain in the Lord’s house for days without end.
