Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me besides quite waters, he restore my soul.
He guides me in path of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though i walk through the valley of shadow of death,
i will fear no evil, for you are with me,
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. 
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
And i will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 

This is the Psalm Papi and Mami read for me every night before i go to bed. Nonni used to read the same Psalm for Papi every night when he was young. Papi said when he was alone living in foreign land, this Psalm reminded his of God's love and that he was never alone because God was there with him. This is a beautiful Psalm, i hope you like it and know that God is with you.
