Psalm 23

New International Reader's Version

23 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 honor 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.
