Psalm, Chanted or Spoken by the Leader

Psalm 23

You, O God, are my shepherd, I shall not want.
You make me lie down in green pastures; 
you lead me beside still waters;
You restore my soul.
You lead me down right pathways in your name.
Though I walk through the valley of the 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 runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, 
and I shall dwell in the house of God forever.

or

Psalm 42

As a deer longs for flowing streams, 
so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for you, for the living God. 
When shall I behold your face?
My tears have been my food day and night, 
while voices ask, “Where is your God?”
Why are you so heavy, O my soul, 
Why are you so weary within me? 
Trust in God; for I shall praise that holy voice
and find my help in that holy face.
