- Chapter 23 -

The Lord is my shepherd

(Ezekiel 34:11-24; John 10:1-21)
1
A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.
2
He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:
3
He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.
4
For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.
5
Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
6
And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
