You are my God.

I sing joyfully of Your name.

No matter the tongue of my supplication,

You bend your ear

and listen.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall lack.

2 

He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me to tranquil streams.

3 

He restores my soul, guiding me in paths of righteousness so that his name may be glorified.

4 

Even though I wander through the valley of the shadow of death,[d]

I will fear no evil, for you are at my side,

with your rod and your staff that comfort me.

5 

You spread a table for me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 

Only goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever.

Psalm 23 (NCB)
