psalm

A psalm by David.

23 
The Lord is my shepherd.

I am never in need.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside peaceful waters.

He renews my soul.

He guides me along the paths of righteousness

for the sake of his name.

Even 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.

You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

Certainly, 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.
