Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want; he maketh me 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.
