The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He refreshes my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 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. You set a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup is filled to overflowing. May goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life, and may I live in the House of the LORD for evermore. Citation Ps. 23 Instructions No Kiddush is said before Se’uda Shelishit. However, some say the following: Passage וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה, אִכְלֻהוּ הַיּוֹם, כִּי־שַׁבָּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה, הַיּוֹם לֹא תִמְצָאֻהוּ בַּשָּׂדֶה: רְאוּ כִּי־יְהֹוָה נָתַן לָכֶם הַשַּׁבָּת עַל־כֵּן הוּא נֹתֵן לָכֶם בַּיּוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי לֶחֶם יוֹמָיִם, שְׁבוּ אִישׁ תַּחְתָּיו אַל־יֵצֵא אִישׁ מִמְּקֹמוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי: וַיִּשְׁבְּתוּ הָעָם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי: va|YO|mer mo|SHEH, ich|lu|HU ha|YOM, ki-sha|BAT ha|YOM la|do|NAI, ha|YOM lo tim|tza-u|HU ba|sa|DEH: re|U ki-a|do|NAI na|TAN la|CHEM ha|sha|BAT al-ken hu no|TEN la|CHEM ba|YOM ha|shi|SHI LE|chem yo|MA|yim, sh'VU ish tach|TAV al-ye|TZEI ish mi|me|ko|MO ba|YOM hash|vi-I: va|yish|be|TU ha-AM ba|YOM hash|vi-I: vay|YOʾ|mer mo|SHEH, ʾikh|lu|HU hay|YOM, ki-shab|BATH hay|YOM la|do|NAI, hay|YOM loʾ thim|tza|ʾu|HU baś|śa|DHEH: re|ʾU ki-a|do|NAI na|THAN la|KHEM has|shab|BATH ʿal-ken huʾ no|THEN la|KHEM bay|YOM has|shis|SHI LE|ḥem yo|MA|yim, she|VU ʾish taḥ|TAV ʾal-ye|TZEʾ ʾish mim|me|qo|MO bay|YOM has|she|vi|ʿI: vay|yish|be|THU ha|ʿAM bay|YOM has|she|vi|ʿI: vay|YO|mer mo|SHEH, ikh|lu|HU hay|YOM, ki-shab|BAT hay|YOM la|do|NAI, hay|YOM lo tim|tza|u|HU bas|sa|DEH: re|U ki-a|do|NAI na|TAN la|KHEM has|shab|BAT ʿal-ken hu no|TEN la|KHEM bay|YOM has|shis|SHI LE|ḥem yo|MA|yim, she|VU ish taḥ|TAV al-ye|TZE ish mim|me|qo|MO bay|YOM has|she|vi|ʿI: vay|yish|be|TU ha|ʿAM bay|YOM has|she|vi|ʿI: va|YOY|mer moy|SHEH, ich|lu|HU ha|YOYM, ki-SHA|bos ha|YOYM la|do|NOY, ha|YOYM loy sim|tzo-u|HU ba|so|DEH: r'U ki-a|do|NOY no|SAN lo|CHEM ha|sha|BOS al-kein hu noy|SEIN lo|CHEM ba|YOYM ha|shi|SHI LE|chem yoy|MO|yim, sh'VU ish tach|TOV al-yei|TZEI ish mim'|koy|MOY ba|YOYM hash'|vi-I: va|yish|b'SU ho-OM ba|YOYM hash'|vi-I: And Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is the Sabbath for the LORD, today You will not find it in the field.

Commentary The metaphor then changes. Now the Psalmist is a guest at God’s table, his cup of wine filled to overflowing, his head anointed with oil (oil was placed on the heads of honored guests at banquets: see Ecclesiastes 9:8; Psalm 92:11). Though his enemies are close, they can do him no harm for he is under his host’s protection. The last line delivers the unexpected denouement: the place where the poet experiences these rich feelings of safety is the Temple, “the House of the LORD.”
Commentary Said here, toward the end of Shabbat, the psalm has particular force. Often Jews were all too conscious of the dangers that lay ahead as they left the refuge of Shabbat and prepared to reengage with the world outside. With them, however, they took the courage born of faith that “I will fear no evil, for You are with me.”
Commentary Psalm 23: One of the most sublime passages in all religious literature: a poetic masterpiece – a mere 57 words long – of trust in God’s gentle care. In the first half, the Psalmist sees himself as a sheep of God’s flock, vulnerable yet safe under the shepherd’s protective eye. The tone of serenity is conveyed by a series of pastoral images: “green pastures,” “still waters,” and ma’aglei tzedek, “right (i.e. safe) paths.”
Commentary The mood then quickens. The Psalmist speaks of “the valley of the shadow of death” (or “a valley of deep darkness”), perhaps a crevice in the rocks where the sun cannot penetrate and where there may be danger from predators. At this point, the psalm shifts from third to second person as the author turns directly to God, uttering in six simple Hebrew words one of the great declarations of faith: “I will fear no evil, for You are with me.”
