Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    • B 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
      • C 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
        • D 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
      • C' 23:4b for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    • B' 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
  • A' 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
