t
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;
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies;
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.
