The words of Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; he guides me in paths of righteousness, for His name's sake. Even 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. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
