Write about the Old Testament of Unit 3

Psalm 23. A Psalm of David.

Scene I: My Good Leader

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;

he leads me beside still waters;

3 he restores my soul;

He leads me in right paths

for his name’s sake.

Scene II: Danger and Trust

4 Even though I walk through the valley of Death-Shadow [ tsalmawet ],

I fear no evil;

for you are with me;

your Rod and your Staff—they protect me.

Scene III: Safety through Reconciliation

5 You prepare a table [ shulhan ] before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Scene IV: Under Enduring Protection

6 Surely well-being and your commitment shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

my whole life long.
