A PSALM OF DAVID
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 of righteousness for his
names sake.
Yea, 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.
Ps. 23:1-4
