Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over. 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. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. Keep us ever in Your watch, till we can walk again with light hearts and renewed spirits. Be mindful of us and have mercy on us while we struggle to comprehend life's hardships.
