$he %ord is my shepherd; I shall not want. #e ma&eth me to lie down ingreen pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. #e restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name5s sa&e. 1ea,though I wal& through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:

for thou art with me; thy rod and thy sta+ they omfort me.

$hou preparest a table before me in the presene of mine enemies: thouanointest my head with oil; my up runneth over. )urely goodness and

mery shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the %ord for ever.Psalm 23:1-6
