CPsalms 23
Hie LO RD Is M y Shepherd, I shall not want. He m afeth 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 righteousnessfo r his name's sale. Tea, though I w alkthrough the valley o f the shadow o f death, I w illfe a r no evil: fo r thou ait w ith me; thy rod a n d thy
s ta ff they comfort me. Thou prcparest a table before me in the presence o f mine enemies: thou anointest my head w ith o f my cup ivnneth over.
Surely goodness a n d mercy shallfo llo w me a ll the days o f my life: a n d 1 w ill dw ell in the house o f the L o rd f o r ever.
