A Psalm of David. 23:1 The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing. 23:2 He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters. 23:3 He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name. 23:4 Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort. 23:5 You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing. 23:6 Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
