Scripture
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 shad follow me all
the days of my dfe: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever.
Psabn 23
