The 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 thepath of righteousness for His name’s sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of theshadow 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.
