(a Scripture that's usually cited at the end of letters to Kenneth Copeland Ministries' Partners)

The Online Bible I prefer is BibleHub (I discuss 'why-them' elsewhere ... maybe later, if I haven't done it yet) and they direct me to the Berean Study Bible (BSB) translation when I search for 'Psalm 23' (tho I might have to rearrange the words a little to link it up with the Hebrew word-meaning):
1The LORD is my shepherd;a
I shall want not.
2He makes me lie down in pastures green;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
for the sake of His name.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,b
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever (unto perpetuity).

"WARNING": the way I "studied" the words above, you could change 'the whole message' of the above Scripture if you're not firmly 'indoctrinated' in what its message truly is—the interpretation I'm 'indoctrinated-with' right now is "Have Faith in God! that He has sent you A Good Shepherd (who will guide you to your next feeding- or working- or playing- or resting-place)."

And yes, we all know 'The Good Shepherd is Jesus (who leads His sheep across the chasm over the pit of Hell to the verdant meadows amongst the many mansions of Heaven)'; but I think that 'that "knowledge"' is more of a 'pattern to keep in mind'—as you follow 'guides' who fit that pattern- and as you fit that pattern yourself, you and your leaders & your followers will be guided ever-closer to 'a more-perfect unity.'
