“The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still water 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”

 Psalms 23
