1. The LORD Is My Shepherd

   (Ezekiel 34:11–24; John 10:1–21)

2. 1USTA psalm of David Yahweh{ cares for} me{ like} a shepherd{ cares for his sheep},{ so} I{ know that I} will have everything that I need.BSBBSB: A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
3. 2USTYahweh nourishes and encourages my inner person and enables me to rest in peace, like a shepherd who leads{ his sheep} to places where there is plenty of green grass{ for them to eat} and leads them to streams where the water is flowing slowly.BSBBSB: He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
4. 3USTYahweh renews my strength. He gives me good guidance for how I should live, in order that I, and others, will honor him.BSBBSB: He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
5. 4USTEven when I am in dangerous and scary circumstances in which evil men might kill or hurt me, I will fear nothing, because you are with me. I feel comforted and reassured because you protect and care for me like a shepherd protects his sheep by using his club and his walking stick to protect them from being attacked by wild animals.BSBBSB: 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.
6. 5USTYou{ richly} provide food for me and protect me from my enemies. You joyfully welcome me and honor me as people joyfully receive the guests they have invited by pouring olive oil over their heads. You have given me very many blessings!BSBBSB: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
7. 6USTI am certain that Yahweh will be good to me and will continue to love me faithfully as long as I live. I will worship Yahweh in his sanctuary throughout my life.BSBBSB: Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
