The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
-- Psalms 23 (King James Version)
This has to be one of the top half-dozen best known and most lovely passages in the Bible. Though, what I have posted is actually only an extraction from the chapter, but about half of it, that which, by my sensibility, is the perfect poem within the larger poem.
