Psalm 23
The LORD is my Shepherd; I will never be in need.
He provides me a resting
place in green pastures.
He leads me beside peaceful waters;
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths,
for the honor of his
name.
Even if I were to walk
through the valley of
deathlike darkness,
I would fear no harm,
for you are always with
me.
Your rod for protection and your staff for support -
they reassure me.
You prepare a banquet table for me;
my enemies can only
watch.
You anoint my head with the oil of blessing;
my cup overflows with
abundance.
Surely goodness and love will watch over me,
all the days of my life.
And I will remain in the presence of the LORD
always.
