The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures:
he leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul:
he leads me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies:
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup runs 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.
