Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd
Psalms 23:1-6 · Berean Standard Bible
David's most beloved psalm walks through green pastures and the darkest valley alike, held the whole way by a Shepherd who stays close. The words people reach for in grief, fear, and every valley in between.
Read Psalms 23:1-6 in the Doxa app, keep a note on the verse that stays with you, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
4Even 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.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
