Psalm 23. A psalm of David
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet water, he restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of 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 overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. www.caughmanharmanfuneralhome. com.
