Psalm 23: New Revised Standard Version

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; F36

3 he restores my soul. F37 He leads me in right paths F38 for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, F39 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 F40 goodness and mercy F41 shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long. F42
