Psalms
Chapter 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Summary
The LORD is the speaker's shepherd who provideth rest, water, and restoration, and leadeth in paths of righteousness. Though the speaker walketh through the valley of the shadow of death, the LORD's presence comforteth, prepareth a table before enemies, anointeth with oil, and causeth goodness and mercy to follow all the days of life, that the speaker may dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
