23 Ang Panginoon ay aking pastor; hindi ako mangangailangan.

Kaniyang pinahihiga ako sa sariwang pastulan: pinapatnubayan niya ako sa siping ng mga tubig na pahingahan,

Kaniyang pinapananauli ang aking kaluluwa: pinapatnubayan niya ako sa mga landas ng katuwiran alangalang sa kaniyang pangalan.

Oo, bagaman ako'y lumalakad sa libis ng lilim ng kamatayan, wala akong katatakutang kasamaan; sapagka't ikaw ay sumasa akin: ang iyong pamalo at ang iyong tungkod, ay nagsisialiw sa akin.

Iyong pinaghahandaan ako ng dulang sa harap ko sa harapan ng aking mga kaaway: iyong pinahiran ang aking ulo ng langis; ang aking saro ay inaapawan.

Tunay na ang kabutihan at kaawaan ay susunod sa akin sa lahat ng mga kaarawan ng aking buhay: at ako'y tatahan sa bahay ng Panginoon magpakailan man.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd,(A) I lack nothing.(B)
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,(C)
    he refreshes my soul.(D)
He guides me(E) along the right paths(F)
    for his name’s sake.(G)
Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a](H)
I will fear no evil,(I)
    for you are with me;(J)
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

You prepare a table(K) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;(L)
    my cup(M) overflows.
Surely your goodness and love(N) will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

  1. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death

This is a song that David wrote.

God takes care of his people[a]

23 The Lord takes care of me,
    like a shepherd with his sheep.
I have everything that I need.
He takes me to green fields where I can rest.
    He leads me to streams of water where I can drink.
He gives me new strength in my life.
He is my guide to the right paths.
    He does this to give honour to his name.
I may walk through a valley that is as dark as death.
    But I will not be afraid of any danger.
This is because you are with me, Lord.
Your stick and your shepherd's pole protect me from danger.

You prepare a big meal for me while my enemies watch.
    You put olive oil on my head.
You bless me so much that my cup is completely full.
I am sure that you will always be good to me.
You will love me all the days of my life.
    That will never change.
I will live in the Lord's house for as long as I live.
