PSALM S 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 o f righteousness For his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley o f the shadow o f 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 my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me A ll the days o f my life;
And I will dwell in the house o f the Lordfo r ever.
