Psalm 23

You Lord are my children's shepherd;
      They will  have all that they need.
 You let them rest in green meadows;
      you lead them beside peaceful streams.
 You Lord will renew their strength.
 You Lord will guide them along right paths,
      bringing honor to your name.
 Even when my children walk
      through the darkest valley,
   They will not be afraid,
      for you are close beside them.
  Your rod and your staff
      protect and comfort them.
You prepare a feast for your sons and daughters,
      in the presence of their enemies.
   You honor them by anointing their head with oil.
      Oh Lord, their cups will overflow with blessings.
 Surely your goodness, Lord, and unfailing love will pursue my children
      all the days of their lives,
   and they will live in your house, Lord,
      forever.
