The 23rd Psalm
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 of 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; The 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.
