A reading of the 23rd Psalms,
New King James Version.
The Lord,
The shepherd of his people,
A Psalms of David.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me besides the still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in the path of righteousness,
For his namesake.
Ye,
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 runs 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.
Psalms 23,
New King James Version.
