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 forever .
