PSALM XXIII.

  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 forever.
