Adonai is My Shepherd

 


Adonai is my Shepherd; I lack nothing.

He has me lie down in grassy pastures,

He leads me by quiet water,

He restores my inner person.

He guides me in right paths

for the sake of His own Name.

Even if I pass through death-dark ravines,

I will fear no disaster; for You are with me;

Your rod and staff reassure me.

 

You prepare a table for me,

even as my enemies watch;

You anoint my head with oil

from an overflowing cup.

 

Goodness and grace will pursue me

every day of my life;

and I will live in the house of Adonai

for years and years to come.

(Psalm 23 CJB­)
