Psalms 23
David declares **YHWH** as his shepherd who provides for all needs, leads to green pastures and still waters, restores the soul, and guides in paths of righteousness for His name's sake[1][2]. Even in the valley of the shadow of death, he fears no evil due to YHWH's presence, rod, and staff; YHWH prepares a table before enemies, anoints his head with oil, overflows his cup, and ensures goodness and mercy follow all his days as he dwells in YHWH's house forever[1][2].
