Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. H e maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. H e restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths o f righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley o f the shadow o f death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence o f mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days o f my life: and I will dwell in the house o f the Lord forever.
