Psalm 23 (KJV)

A Psalm of David.

  1. 1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  2. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
  3. 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
  4. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
  5. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
  6. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
