The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; He leadeth me beside 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 preparest 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 forever.
— Psalm 23 —
