PSALM 23 [†] The LORD is my  d shepherd; I shall not  e want.

2[†] He makes me lie down in green  f pastures.

He leads me beside still waters. [1]

3[†] He  g restores my soul.

He  h leads me in  i paths of righteousness [2]

for his  j name’s sake.

4[^][†] Even though I  k walk through the valley of  l the shadow of death, [3]

I will  m fear no evil,

for  n you are with me;

your  o rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5[†] You  p prepare a table before me

in  q the presence of my enemies;

you  r anoint my head with oil;

my  s cup overflows.

6[^] Surely [4] goodness and mercy [5] shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall  t dwell [6] in the house of the LORD

 u forever. [7]

A Psalm of David.
