Psalm 23

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 that art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of min 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.
