The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths ofrighteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk
through the valley ofthe shadow ofdeath, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staffthey comfort me.
Thou prepares! a table before me in the presence ofmine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy
shallfollow me all the days ofmy life: and I will dwell in the house ofthe L ORD
f or ever.
