23 You, Lord, are my shepherd.

I will never be in need.
² You let me rest in fields
of green grass.
You lead me to streams
of peaceful water,
³ and you refresh my life.

You are true to your name,

and you lead me
along the right paths.
⁴ I may walk through valleys
as dark as death,
but I won’t be afraid.
You are with me,
and your shepherd’s rod
makes me feel safe.

⁵ You treat me to a feast,

while my enemies watch.
You honor me as your guest,
and you fill my cup
until it overflows.
⁶ Your kindness and love
will always be with me
each day of my life,
and I will live forever
in your house, Lord.
