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 ofrighteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valleyof 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 mein 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.
Psalm 23
