Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

¹ The Lord is my shepherd,^(a) I lack nothing.^(b)
²     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,^(c)
³     he refreshes my soul.^(d)
He guides me^(e) along the right paths^(f)
    for his name's sake.^(g)
⁴ Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,^[a]^(h)
I will fear no evil,⁽ⁱ⁾
    for you are with me;^(j)
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table^(k) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;^(l)
    my cup^(m) overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love⁽ⁿ⁾ will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
