Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie

down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside 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.
