Psalms 23
The Lord guides and provides for the speaker, leading them to a place of rest and refreshment, and directing them on the path of justice. Even in the face of death, the speaker fears no evil because the Lord is with them, offering comfort and protection. The Lord prepares a table for the speaker in the presence of their enemies and blesses them with abundance. The speaker looks forward to dwelling in the Lord's presence forever, surrounded by His mercy.
1A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me2He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment3He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name4For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation5You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is6And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days
