The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1
Berean Standard Bible · 6 verses
Psalm 23, attributed to David, pictures God as a shepherd who leads, feeds and protects. It moves from calm fields and still water to the darkest valley, where God’s presence still brings comfort, and then to a generous table set even in front of enemies. It ends with confidence that God’s goodness will stay with him all his life.
A Psalm of David.
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.
