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 of the shadow ofdeath, I willfear no evil; For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, Thou prepareth 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 Lordforever.
