*Psalms 23

₁The Lord is my Shepherd.

He cares for me,

and I have everything that I need.

₂He makes me lie down and rest

in green fields

where the water is calm.

₃The Lord gives me new strength.

He teaches me to live in the right way

because I belong to Him.

₄Even if I walk through

a deep and dark valley,

I will not be afraid, because You,

O Lord, are with me.

You protect me like a shepherd

protects his sheep

with his stick and his staff.

₅You invite me to sit at your table,

but my enemies may only

stand far away and look.

You make me feel important,

and You make me enjoy everything.

₆You will love me and

be good to me for as long as I live.

I will always come back

to your temple

and live in the house_of_the_Lord forever.
