Twenty-Third 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 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 prepares" a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth oven Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
