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. Heleadeth me in the path of righteousness for his names sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death I will fear no evil for Thou art with me.
