Psalm 23
Don Moen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still water
He restores my soul
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in His house forever
Jesus my Shepherd and only provider
You make me lie down in green pastures
You lead me beside the still water
You restore my soul
Though I walk through the valley of shadows
I will not be afraid
Your rod and staff are my only comfort
And You'll be with me always
You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
And You anoint my head with oil
And my cup overflows
My cup overflows with Your love
With Your love
Jesus my shepherd and only provider
You make me lie down in green pastures
You lead me beside the still water
You restore my soul
The lyrics to Don Moen and LeeAnn Albrecht's "Psalm 23" are a beautiful expression of trust and faith in God's guidance and provision. The opening lines immediately declare Jesus as the shepherd and sole provider, indicating complete reliance on His care. The mention of green pastures and still water evoke images of peaceful rest and contentment in the midst of life's challenges. The line "He restores my soul" suggests a deep inner healing and renewal that only God can provide.
The second verse brings in the theme of walking through the valley of shadows, which is a metaphor for difficult times or struggles. But instead of being afraid, the singer finds comfort in the idea of God's rod and staff. This represents protection and comfort from God during times of trouble. The mention of a table being prepared in the presence of enemies, anointing with oil, and overflowing cups all suggest abundance and blessings poured out by God. The final line, "My cup overflows with Your love," summarizes the entire message of the song - that God's love is abundant and sufficient for every need.

Jesus is my good shepherd
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
11 I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:10,11
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
John 10:27,28
Thenย Jesus declared, โI am the bread of life.ย Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.ย
John 6:35
Whoever looks onto the lord; His mercy, goodness and kindness will surely follow that sheep
He is my loving shepherd
