Psalm 23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 23

The Divine Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.(A)
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;[a](B)
3     he restores my soul.[b]
He leads me in right paths[c]
    for his name’s sake.(C)

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[d]
    I fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.(D)

5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.(E)
6 Surely[e] goodness and mercy[f] shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
    my whole life long.[g](F)
