Our Father which art in heaven,
 Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not  into temptation,
but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in
the paths of  righteousness for His name' sake.
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. Thou preparest a
table before me in the presence of
mine enemies; Thou annointest
my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life, and I will dwell in the
House of the Lord forever.
