Psalm 23

The Divine Shepherd

1 A psalm of David: ADONAI is my shepherd; I lack nothing. 

2 He has me lie down in grassy pastures, he leads me by quiet water, 

3 he restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name. 

4 Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me. 

5 You prepare a table for me, even as my enemies watch; you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup. 

6 Goodness and grace will pursue me every day of my life; and I will live in the house of ADONAI for years and years to come.
