Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul; He leads me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I 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 my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the day of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
--Amen
