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.
