The LORD is my shepherd

I shall not want

he makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters;

he restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness


for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,

I 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 my enemies;

thou anointest my head with oil,

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me


all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD

for ever.

Psalm 23
The Responsorial Psalm for today's Mass

(from an earlier post)

Remember

Remember, man, that you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.

Memento, homo, quia pulvis es,
et in pulverem reverteris.
