The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restores my soul; he leads me down 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 You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.  (Psalm 23)
