Salmos 23

(A psalm by David.)

The Good Shepherd

1 You, Lord, are my shepherd.

I will never be in need.

2 *Rev 7.17. 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*23.4 shepherd’s rod: The Hebrew text mentions two objects carried by the shepherd: a club to defend against wild animals and a long pole to guide and control the sheep.

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.
