The Lord the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David.
1 The LordisPs. 78:52; 80:1; (Is. 40:11); Ezek. 34:11, 12; (John 10:11; 1 Pet. 2:25; Rev. 7:16, 17)my shepherd;
(Ps. 34:9, 10; Phil. 4:19)I shall not want.
2 Ps. 65:11–13; Ezek. 34:14He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
(Rev. 7:17)He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
Ps. 5:8; 31:3; Prov. 8:20He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of Job 3:5; 10:21, 22; 24:17; Ps. 44:19the shadow of death,
(Ps. 3:6; 27:1)I will fear no evil;
Ps. 16:8; (Is. 43:2)For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You Ps. 104:15prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You Ps. 92:10; Luke 7:46anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
