The Lord is my Shepherd,  I shall not want. He maketh me lie down

 in green pastures;  He leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restores 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
