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.

for his ⁱname’s sake.

The Lord God Will Seek Them Out

11 “For thus says the Lord God: ^xBehold, I, I ^ymyself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. 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 ^za day of clouds and ^aathick darkness. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples ^aband gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on ^acthe mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 ^adI will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. ^aeThere they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 ^afI myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, ^agand I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. 16 ^ahI will seek the lost, ^aiand I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and ^ajthe fat and the strong I will destroy. ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate I will watch over} I will feed them in justice.

Ezekiel 34:23-24

23 And ^alI will set up over them one shepherd, ^ammy servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And ^anI, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. ^aoI am the Lord; I have spoken.
