23 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],^(A)
I shall not want.
² 
He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.^(B)
3 
He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

² 
“My beloved has gone down to his garden,
To the beds of balsam,
To feed his flock in the gardens
And gather lilies.
³ 
“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,
He who feeds his flock among the lilies.”
