Inspiring Words From the Psalmist


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 path of righteousness for his name 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 prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.
Thou anoineth my head with oil; thy cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life andI will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.
