Psalms 23

NIV

MSG

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
1 God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
2 You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from.
3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
3 True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
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
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
5 You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
6 Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.
