The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters,
He restoreth my soul ... Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow ofdeath, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff
they comfort me ... Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days ofmy
life, and I will dwell in the house ofthe Lord forever.
