The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.Fresh and green are the pastureswhere he gives me repose.Near restful waters he leads me,to revive my drooping spirit.

(R)You have prepared a banquet for mein the sight of my foes.My head you have anointed with oil;my cup is overflowing. (R)Surely goodness and kindness shall follow meall the days of my life.
In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell
for ever and ever. (R)Second Reading: Ephesians 2:13-18
