4 Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He make me lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul: He leads 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 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 overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
