Psalm 23
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Lord, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.
A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my (A)shepherd,
I [a]shall (B)not want.
2 He makes me lie down in (C)green pastures;
He (D)leads me beside [b](E)quiet waters.
3 He (F)restores my soul;
He (G)guides me in the [c](H)paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I (I)walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I (J)fear no [e]evil, for (K)You are with me;
Your (L)rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You (M)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have (N)anointed my head with oil;
My (O)cup overflows.
6 [g]Surely (P)goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [h](Q)dwell in the house of the Lord [i]forever.

John 10:11-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 “(A)I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd (B)lays down His life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand, and not a (C)shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. 14 (D)I am the good shepherd, and (E)I know My own and My own know Me, 15 even as (F)the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and (G)I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have (H)other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become (I)one flock with (J)one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I (K)lay down My life so that I may take it again. 18 (L)No one has taken it away from Me, but I (M)lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. (N)This commandment I received from My Father.”
