Psalm 23

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 shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
