I wewtxf--tU-lrd r~^ 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 of righteousness for his names sake. Y.?a, though I walk through the valley of 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 of mine enemies: thou anaintest 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 of the Lordfor ever."
