Psalms 23
The speaker expresses trust in God as their shepherd, who provides for their needs, guides them, and comforts them in times of fear and uncertainty. God leads them to peaceful places, restores their soul, and guides them on the right path. Even in the face of death, the speaker finds comfort in God's presence. Ultimately, they expect to experience God's goodness and mercy throughout their life and to dwell in God's presence forever.
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4Yea, 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.5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
