"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 names 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 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. Surely goodness and mercy shallfollow me all the days ofmy life: and I will dwell in the house ofthe Lordfor ever."
