Psalm 23 KJV
1.The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.3.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's
sake.4.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.5.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6.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.
