The Twenty Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul; He leads me in the path 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 you are with me; Your rod and staff they comfort me. You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
