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 paths of righteousness for

His name's sake.

Even though I walk, through the valley of theshadow of death, I fear no evil;

For thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff,

they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the

in the presence of my enemies;

Thou anointest 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.

23rd Psalms
