(KJV) Psalm 231

<< Psalm 22 Psalm 24 >>

⥃The LORD Is My Shepherd [ Ezekiel 34:11–24 † John 10:1–21 ]

A Psalm of David.

[1] The Lord [is] my2 shepherd; I shall3 not want. [2] He maketh4 me to lie down in green pastures5: he leadeth6 me beside the still waters7. [3] He restoreth8 my soul: he leadeth9 me in the paths of righteousness for his10 name’s sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through11 the valley of the shadow of death, I will12 fear no evil: for thou13 [art] with me; thy rod14 and thy staff they comfort me. [5] Thou preparest15 a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest16 my head with oil; my cup17 runneth over. [6] Surely goodness18 and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I19 will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever20.
