The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my *Ps. 78:52;80:1;Isa. 40:11;Jer. 31:10;Ezek. 34:11,12,23;John 10:11;Heb. 13:20;1 Pet. 2:25;5:4shepherd; I shall not *Ps. 34:9,10;[Matt. 6:33]want.

2 He makes me lie down in green *Ezek. 34:14;John 10:9pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.*23:2 Hebrew beside waters of rest

3 He *Ps. 19:7restores my soul.

He *Ps. 5:8;31:3;139:10,24;143:10;Isa. 40:11;49:10leads me in *Prov. 4:11;8:20paths of righteousness*23:3 Or in right paths

for his *Ps. 25:11;31:3;79:9;109:21;Ezek. 20:9,14name’s sake.

4 Even though I *Ps. 138:7walk through the valley of *See Job 3:5the shadow of death,*23:4 Or the valley of deep darkness

I will *Ps. 3:6;27:1,3;118:6fear no evil,

for *Ex. 3:12;Isa. 43:2you are with me;

your *Mic. 7:14rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You *Ps. 78:19;[Prov. 9:2;John 6:51]; See 2 Sam. 17:27-29prepare a table before me

in *[Ps. 31:19] the presence of my enemies;

you *Ps. 45:7;133:2;Luke 7:46;[Ps. 92:10] anoint my head with oil;

my *Ps. 16:5cup overflows.

6 Surely*23:6 Or Only goodness and mercy*23:6 Or steadfast love shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall *Ps. 27:4dwell*23:6 Or shall return to dwell in the house of the Lord

*Ps. 21:4forever.*23:6 Hebrew for length of days
