Psalm 23:2-4
The Message
23 1-3 God, my shepherd!
I don’t need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.
4 Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I’m not afraid
when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd’s crook
makes me feel secure.
Psalm 23:2-4
New International Version
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,(A)
3 he refreshes my soul.(B)
He guides me(C) along the right paths(D)
for his name’s sake.(E)
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a](F)
I will fear no evil,(G)
for you are with me;(H)
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
