Psalms 23

1The Lord is my shepherd. I will always have everything I need.

2He makes me lie down and rest in green fields where the water is calm.

3The Lord gives me new strength. He teaches me to live in the right way because I belong to Him.

4When I get ready to die, I will not be afraid, because You, O Lord, are with me. You protect me like a shepherd protects his sheep.

5You invite me to sit at your table in front of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup is full of blessings and spilling over.

6Your goodness and mercy will be with me all my life, and I will live in the Lord’s house for ever.
