Bessie Edwards

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His names sake. Even 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. Thou hast prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies Thou has anointed my head with oil My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23.
