Psalm 23:2-5
Lexham English Bible
2 In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;
by quiet waters he leads me.
3 He restores my life.[a]
He leads me in correct paths[b]
for the sake of his name.
4 Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil
because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare before me a table
in the presence of my oppressors.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup is overflowing.
