He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

for the sake of His name.

I will fear no evil,

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.Psa 118:6; Rom 8:31

in the presence of my enemies.

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
