Psalm 23 -(NRSV)

 

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

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;

          he leads me beside still waters;

3 he restores my soul.

          He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil;

          for you are with me;

          your rod and your staff— they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

          you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

          and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.
