Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd
The Lord is the psalmist's shepherd, providing green pastures, still waters, and rest; he leads in paths of righteousness and comforts with his rod and staff even through the valley of death's shadow.
6 verses. The 23rd of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4Yea, 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.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
