PSALM 23 David acclaims: The Lord is my

shepherd. A PSALM OF DAVID

1 THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still water.

3 He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me I the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the House of the LORD For Ever.
