The Shepherd That Keeps You
A Psalm of David
23:1Jehovah is my shepherd;1 I shall not want.2
23:2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside still waters.
23:3He restoreth my soul:
He guideth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
23:4Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
23:5Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou hast anointed my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
23:6Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me
all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah
for ever.
- Jehovah is my shepherd. An affirmation.
- I shall not want. A denial.
