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.
