The Lord, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my (A)shepherd,
I will (B)not be in need.
He lets me lie down in (C)green pastures;
He (D)leads me beside [a](E)quiet waters.
He (F)restores my soul;
He (G)guides me in the [b](H)paths of righteousness
For the sake of His name.

14 (A)I am the good shepherd, and (B)I know My own, and My own know Me, 15 just as (C)the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and (D)I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And I have (E)other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become (F)one flock, with (G)one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I (H)lay down My life so that I may take it back. 18 (I)No one has taken it away from Me, but I (J)lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. (K)This commandment I received from My Father.”
