The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me 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: though 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 for ever.

Psalms 23: 1-6
