Psalm 23, King James Version (KJV), has brought
comfort to many in their darkest hour.
Perhaps
even to King David, God's human instrument in writing this comforting passage. 1 The Lord is my
shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He
maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 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.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
6
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.
