Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the 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.
