Psalm 23 The Blessing of Having the Lord as Our Shepherd

 Psalm 23

The Blessing of Having the Lord as Our Shepherd

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters.

3 He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
