Psalms. Chapter 23. A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water. He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
