Psalms 23

The LORD Is My Shepherd

(Ezekiel 34:11–24; John 10:1–21)

1A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.
2In pastures of grass he makes me lie down; beside waters of rest he leads me.
3My soul^a he restores; he leads me in paths of righteousness for the sake of his name.
4Even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare before me a table in front of my adversaries; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and lovingkindness will pursue me all the days of my life^b, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for length of days.
