Psalm 23 (NIV)

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
    he leads me beside quiet waters,

3    he refreshes my soul.
    He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

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