Psalm 23The Lord is my shepherd · Berean Standard Bible
What it is about
The psalm of the good shepherd. David describes God as a shepherd who cares for him: he gives him rest and food, leads him along the right path and stays with him even in the darkest valley, so he has nothing to fear. It ends with the confidence that God's goodness and mercy will follow him all his life.

1A Psalm of David. The 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.
