“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

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. 

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

 thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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.”

Psalm 23

“Have you never heard?

Have you never understood?

The LORD is the everlasting God,

 the Creator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

No one can measure the depths of His understanding.

He gives power to the weak

 and strength to the powerless.

Even youths will become weak and tired, 

and young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. 

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint.”

Isaiah 40: 28-31
