Psalm 23 - The LORD Is My Shepherd

David's shepherd psalm of quiet trust, comfort, and God's presence through the darkest valley.

Psalm 23: The LORD Is My Shepherd

Psalm 23 pictures the LORD as a shepherd who leads His people beside still waters and restores the soul, a promise stated plainly in Psalms 23:1. Even walking through the valley of the shadow of death, David says he will fear no evil because God's rod and staff bring comfort.


(大衛的 詩。)耶和華 是我的牧者,我必不 致缺乏。

他使我躺臥 在青 草地上,領我 在 可安歇 的水邊。

他使我的靈魂 甦醒,為 自己的名 引導我走 義 路。

我雖然 行 過死蔭 的幽谷,也不 怕 遭害,因為 你 與我同在;你的杖,你的竿,都 安慰我。

在我敵人 面前,你為我 擺設 筵席;你用油 膏了 我的頭,使我的福杯 滿溢。

我一 生 一世 必有 恩惠 慈愛 隨著我;我且要住 在耶和華 的殿中,直到永遠。

The psalm closes with a table prepared before enemies, an anointed head, and a promise that goodness and mercy follow all the days of life.
