Psalm 23
1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3: He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4: Yea, 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: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
blessed with a Shepherd who takes care of my needs
made to lie down in green pastures
led beside still waters
restored
led in the paths of righteousness
not afraid
comforted by God’s presence, rod and staff
with God who prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemies
having God anoint my head with an abundance of oil
blessed with goodness and mercy: they shall follow me all the days of my life
assured that I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever
