Psalm 23

1Jehovah is my shepherd, therefore I shall not want any thing.

2In pastures of grass he maketh me to lie down; To waters gently flowing he leadeth me.

3My soul he restoreth: He leadeth me by the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because thou art with me; Thy staff and thy crook they comfort me.

5Thou wilt prepare before me a table in the presence of my persecutors; Thou wilt anoint with oil my head; My cup overfloweth.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for a length of days.
