Psalms 23
The most beloved psalm in Scripture. David declares the Lord as his shepherd who provides, guides, restores, and protects. Even through the valley of the shadow of death, God's presence removes all fear. Goodness and love follow the believer forever.
A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
The Lord is my shepherd — I am the good shepherd
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
Read John 10:11 ›He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
