Psalm 23

This is my favorite passage in Holy Bible.

Psalm 23 (New International Version)
A psalm of David

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death*)
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Footnote:
Psalm 23:4 Or through the darkest valley

This passage makes me calm. I can feel peace in my heart after reading it everyday.
