The Twenty-Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still water.

He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the

paths of righteousness for his namesake.

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 take 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.
