Psalm 23

New International Version

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

¹The Lord is my shepherd,^(A) I lack nothing.^(B)
²    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,^(C)
³    he refreshes my soul.^(D)
He guides me^(E) along the right paths^(F)
    for his name’s sake.^(G)
⁴Even 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.

⁵You prepare a table^(K) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;^(L)
    my cup^(M) overflows.
⁶Surely 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.

¹⁴“I am the good shepherd;^(A) I know my sheep^(B) and my sheep know me— ¹⁵just as the Father knows me and I know the Father^(C)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.^(D) ¹⁶I have other sheep^(E) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock^(F) and one shepherd.^(G) ¹⁷The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life^(H)—only to take it up again. ¹⁸No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.^(I) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”^(J)
