The Lord is her shepherd. She shall not want. He gave her rest in green pastures. He led her to calm water. He gave her strength. He led her on the paths of righteousness. He restored her soul. He led her through the Valley of the Shadow of Death and she feared no evil, for He was with her. His goodness and love followed her all the days of her life and now she dwells in the house of the Lord forever.
