Psalms 23
The Good Shepherd
1A Davidic psalm. The Lord is my shepherd; athere is nothing I lack. b
2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; c
He leads me beside quiet waters. d
3 He renews my life;
He leads me along the right paths ▼
▼Or me in paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake. f
4 Even when I go through the darkest valley ▼
▼Or the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no danger,
for You are with me; h
Your rod and Your staff ▼
▼A shepherd’s equipment
– they comfort me. j 5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; k
my cup overflows. l
6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life m
and I will dwell in ▼
▼LXX, Sym, Syr, Tg, Vg, Jer; MT reads will return to
the house of the Lordas long as I live. ▼ , p
