The 23 Psalm

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 name’s 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 forever. Amen
