PSALM 23
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 preparest a table before me in the presence ofmine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days ofmy life: and I will dwell in the
house ofthe LoRD forever.
