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.

1The Lord is my #Ps. 78:52; 80:1; Isa. 40:11; Jer. 31:10; Ezek. 34:11, 12, 23; John 10:11; Heb. 13:20; 1 Pet. 2:25; 5:4 shepherd; I shall not #Ps. 34:9, 10; [Matt. 6:33]want.
2He makes me lie down in green #Ezek. 34:14; John 10:9pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.#23:2 Hebrew beside waters of rest

He #Ps. 5:8; 31:3; 139:10, 24; 143:10; Isa. 40:11; 49:10 leads me in #Prov. 4:11; 8:20 paths of righteousness#23:3 Or in right paths
for his #Ps. 25:11; 31:3; 79:9; 109:21; Ezek. 20:9, 14name’s sake.
4Even though I #Ps. 138:7 walk through the valley of #See Job 3:5 the shadow of death,#23:4 Or the valley of deep darkness
I will #Ps. 3:6; 27:1, 3; 118:6 fear no evil,
for #Ex. 3:12; Isa. 43:2 you are with me;
your #Mic. 7:14rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5You #Ps. 78:19; [Prov. 9:2; John 6:51]; See 2 Sam. 17:27-29 prepare a table before me
in #[Ps. 31:19] the presence of my enemies;
you #Ps. 45:7; 133:2; Luke 7:46; [Ps. 92:10] anoint my head with oil;
my #Ps. 16:5cup overflows.
6Surely#23:6 Or Only goodness and mercy#23:6 Or steadfast love shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall #Ps. 27:4 dwell#23:6 Or shall return to dwell in the house of the Lord
#
Ps. 21:4
forever.#23:6 Hebrew for length of days
