Psalm 23 :: New International Version (NIV)

Psa 23:1A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

Psa 23:2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

Psa 23:3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

Psa 23:4Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[fn] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psa 23:5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Psa 23:6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
