Psalms 23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Lord, the Psalmist's Shepherd.

A Psalm of David.

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

2. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

3. He restores my soul; He guides 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 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 have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.

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