Psalm 23 Funeral Prayer

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 forever.
