PSALM 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 paflns of 
 
righteousness for his names sake. 
 
Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of L., / jf~f? 
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; th/x"/ 
 
rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine eneiriies 
 
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life 
 
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
