Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He&makethme to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the sill 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 ofmineenemies: thouanointestmy head with oil; my cuprunnethover. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORDforever..(Psalms 23- 1-6)
