Psalm 23 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

The Good Shepherd

(A psalm by David.)

¹ You, Lord, are my shepherd. I will never be in need.

² You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water,

³ and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the right paths.

⁴ I may walk through valleys as dark as death, but I won't be afraid. You are with me, and your shepherd's rod makes me feel safe.

⁵ You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as your guest, and you fill my cup until it overflows.

⁶ Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, Lord.
