Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
Righteousness for his names' sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow Of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they .comfort me. Thou prepares+ a table before me in the presence of
my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
House of the Lord forever. Am .an
