23rd Psalm 
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. H e maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. H e restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths o f righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley o f the shadow o f death, I willfear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy sta ff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence o f mine'enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; m y cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house o f the Lord for ever. "
