The Lord is my shepherd

(Ezekiel 34:11-24; John 10:1-21)
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.(a) (b)
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.(c)
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.(d)
