Psalms 23 — FBV

A psalm of David.

23Verse 1Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.
^{Verse 2}He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.
^{Verse 3}He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.
^{Verse 4}Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.
^{Verse 5}You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!
^{Verse 6}I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
