23  Psalm of David

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 thou art with me;

     thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou prepaerest a table before me in the presence of mine 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

    for ever.
