Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd,(A) I lack nothing.(B)

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,(C)

3 he refreshes my soul.(D)
He guides me(E) along the right paths(F)
for his name’s sake.(G)

4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a](H)

I will fear no evil,(I)
for you are with me;(J)
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table(K) before me
in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;(L)
my cup(M) overflows.

6 Surely your goodness and love(N) will follow me
all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
