Comforted by a rod & a staff.


The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.
He lets me lie down
  in green pastures;
He leads me beside
 quiet waters.
He renews my life;
He leads me
  along the right paths
for His name's sake.
Even when I go
 through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff--
 they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You annoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Only goodness and faithful love
  will pursue me
all the days of my life.
and I will dwell in the house
 of the LORD
as long as I live.

~Psalm 23~
