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.

THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
