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 will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 23.
