The Lord Is My Shepherd
Scripture
"Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing."
Psalms 23:1 — WEB"He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters."
Psalms 23:2 — WEB"He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake."
Psalms 23:3 — WEB"Even 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."
Psalms 23:4 — WEB"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over."
Psalms 23:5 — WEB"Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever."
Psalms 23:6 — WEBReflection
David's most beloved psalm paints God not as a distant deity but as a tender shepherd who leads, provides, and restores. Notice the shift mid-psalm from speaking about God to speaking to God. The valley is real, but the Shepherd is present.
Prayer
Shepherd of my soul, lead me beside quiet waters today. Restore what is weary in me, and let me dwell in Your house without fear.
