Psalm 23, NEW INTERNATIONAL READER’S VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

The Lord is my shepherd.  He gives me everything I need.

2

He lets me lie down in fields of green grass.
He leads me beside quiet waters.
 

3

He gives me new strength.
He guides me in the right paths
for the honour of his name.
 

4

Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid.
You are with me.
Your shepherd’s rod and staff
comfort me.
 

5

You prepare a feast for me
right in front of my enemies.
You pour oil on my head.
My cup runs over.
 

6

I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life.
And I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.
