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 still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the path 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 shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Amen.
