Psalms 23
Yahweh the Shepherd
A psalm of David. ▼▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1Yahweh is my shepherd;I will not lack for anything.
2In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;
by quiet waters he leads me.
3He restores my life. ▼
▼Or “my soul”
He leads me in ⌞correct paths⌟ ▼
▼Literally “paths of righteousness”
for the sake of his name.
4Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil
because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare before me a table
in the presence of my oppressors.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup is overflowing.
6Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will stay ▼
▼Hebrew “return”
in the house ▼▼Or “temple”
of Yahweh⌞for a very long time⌟. ▼
▼Literally “for length of days”
