23rd Psalms The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in the green pastures; He leadeth me besides the still waters. He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me on the paths 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 the 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.
