shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me
beside the stillwaters. 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.
