Psalms 23

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my ^ashepherd; I shall not ^bwant.
2 He makes me lie down in green ^cpastures.
He leads me beside still waters. ^{▼▼Hebrew beside waters of rest}
3 He ^erestores my soul.
He ^fleads me in ^gpaths of righteousness ^{▼▼Or in right paths}
for his ⁱname’s sake.
4 Even though I ^jwalk through the valley of ^kthe shadow of death, ^{▼▼Or the valley of deep darkness}
I will ^mfear no evil,
for ⁿyou are with me;
your ^orod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You ^pprepare a table before me
in ^qthe presence of my enemies;
you ^ranoint my head with oil;
my ^scup overflows.
6 Surely ^{▼▼Or Only} goodness and mercy ^{▼▼Or steadfast love} shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall ^vdwell ^{▼▼Or shall return to dwell} in the house of the Lord
^xforever. ^{▼▼Hebrew for length of days}

Isaiah 49:9-10

9 ^bbsaying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’

neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them ^bewill lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.

Ezekiel 34:12-16

12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on ^bfa day of clouds and ^bgthick darkness. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples ^bhand gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on ^bithe mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 ^bjI will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. ^bkThere they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 ^blI myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, ^bmand I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. 16 ^bnI will seek the lost, ^boand I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and ^bpthe fat and the strong I will destroy. ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate I will watch over} I will feed them in justice.
