1A Psalm by David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
1A Song of Ascents. By David. LORD, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me. 2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted amongst the nations. I will be exalted on the earth.”
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
The LORD, your God, is amongst you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
