23For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty;
neither does he hide his face from them; *
but when they cry to him he hears them.
24My praise is of him in the great assembly; *
I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.
25The poor shall eat and be satisfied,
and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *
“May your heart live for ever!”
26All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, *
and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.
27For kingship belongs to the Lord; *
he rules over the nations.
28To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; *
all who go down to the dust fall before him.
29My soul shall live for him;
my descendants shall serve him; *
they shall be known as the Lord’s for ever.
30They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *
the saving deeds that he has done.
23Dominus regit me
1The Lord is my shepherd; *
I shall not be in want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures *
and leads me beside still waters.
612Psalm 23
