The Twenty-Third Psalm

      1The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

      2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside still waters.

      3He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of the righteousness for His name’s sake.

      4Yea, 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.

      5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over.

      6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
