23
The LORD Is My Shepherd
(Ezekiel 34:11–24; John 10:1–21)
 
A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd;*See Revelation 7:17.
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
for the sake of His name.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,Or the valley of deep darkness
I will 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 will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

*23:1 See Revelation 7:17.
