23:1 The Lord is my shepherd,1
I lack nothing.2
23:2 He takes me to lush pastures,3
he leads me to refreshing water.4
23:3 He restores my strength.5
He leads me down6 the right paths7
for the sake of his reputation.8
23:4 Even when I must walk through a dark ravine,9
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff keep me calm.12
23:5 You prepare a feast before me13
in plain sight of my enemies.
You refresh14 my head with oil;
my cup is full of wine.15
23:6 Surely your goodness and faithfulness16 will pursue17 me all the days of my life,
and I will live in18 the Lord’s palace19 for the rest of my life.20
