Psalms 23
The speaker expresses trust in God as their shepherd, who provides for their needs, guides them, and protects them from harm. Even in the face of death, the speaker finds comfort in God's presence. God prepares a table for them in the midst of adversity and blesses them with abundance. The speaker looks forward to dwelling in God's presence forever.
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.3He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.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 shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
