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 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.
