Psalm 23

The LORD, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.

A Psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.


The amazing thing is, the greatest book (or rather collection of books) is available online free of charge. It can be found in just about any hotel, and it's outsold every other book ever printed by such a wide margin, best seller lists assume it will be at the top from the get go. The words inside will surprise you, regardless of your preconceptions, I know it did for me. It's the Bible, of course. Pick it up, it will shock you. Start with the gospels, they're pretty radical.
