PSALM 23. THE SHEPHERD'S PSALM, by                    
First Line: The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
Last Line: Will dwell in the house of the lord for ever.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


THE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still

waters.
He restoreth 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 for ever.
