Psalms 23

Yahweh the Shepherd

A psalm of David. ^{▼▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm}

1 Yahweh is my shepherd;
I will not lack for anything.
2 In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;
by quiet waters he leads me.
3 He restores my life. ^{▼▼Or “my soul”}
He leads me in ⌞correct paths⌟ ^{▼▼Literally “paths of righteousness”}
for the sake of his name.
4 Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil
because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare before me a table
in the presence of my oppressors.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup is overflowing.
6 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will stay ^{▼▼Hebrew “return”} in the house ^{▼▼Or “temple”} of Yahweh
⌞for a very long time⌟. ^{▼▼Literally “for length of days”}
