Psalm 23
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 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
