Psalm 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalm 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalm 23:3
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Psalm 23:4
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.

Psalm 23:5
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.

Psalm 23:6
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.
