jPui/m 2 3
The LORD is m y shepherd; I shall not want. He m aketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth m y soul:
He leadeth m e in the paths o f righteousness for his nam e's sake. Yea, though 1 walk through the valley o f 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 o f mine enemies: Thou anointest m y head with oil; m y cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow yne all the days o f m y life: A nd I will dwell in the house o f the LORD for ever.
