Psalm 23
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Lord the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
Repeated with thoughts...

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; *make me Lord, make me to quiet myself, listen to you in my heart, let you lead me, let me be still, Father and trust you.

He restores my soul; *restore me Father!
He leads me in the paths of righteousness *Lead me Father!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, *even though these trials are hard and the days are long, even though Lord it is dark and I am saddened
I will fear no evil; *help me to fear no evil Lord! If you are for me, who can be against me?! (Rom 8:31) Help me to hide that truth in my heart and to live it out, Father!
For You are with me; *oh Thank you Jesus!
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. *I need your protection Lord.
