The LORD is my shepherd; I lack nothing
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me to water in places of repose.
He renews my life: He guides me in right paths as befits His Name.
Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness, I fear no harm, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff-they comfort me.
You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my drink is abundant.
Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23
