The Divine Shepherd Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd,

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside still waters;

He restores my soul.

He leads me in right paths

For His Name's sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,

I fear no evil;

For you are with me;

Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies,

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

My whole life long.

[Psalm 23:1-6; NRSV]
