Psalm 23 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Psa 23:1A psalm of David.

The LORD is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.

Psa 23:2He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.

Psa 23:3He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.

Psa 23:4Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[fn]
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.

Psa 23:5

Psa 23:5You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.

Psa 23:6

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