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.
