"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 fo r his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley o f the shadow o f death, I w ill fea r no evil: fo r thou art with me; thy rod and thy sta ff 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 1 w ill dwell in the house o f the Lordfo r ever. "
