=====================================================
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
estoreth 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.
