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 of righteousness for His name's 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 preparest a table
before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Sure~ goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
