Even In America: 2312127

Now we shall see what, Even In America, 
people with all the power
will do to people who have none.

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’s 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 anointest 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 for ever.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
     from whence cometh my help.
 My help cometh from the Lord,
     which made heaven and earth.
 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
     he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel
     shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper:
     the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day,
     nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
     he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
     from this time forth, and even for evermore.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
     they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
     though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;
     that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
     to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
     in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
     he shall set me up upon a rock.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:
     therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
     I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:
     have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
     my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 
Hide not thy face far from me;
     put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help;
     leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
When my father and my mother forsake me,
     then the Lord will take me up. 
Teach me thy way, O Lord,
     and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:
     for false witnesses are risen up against me,
     and such as breathe out cruelty.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord:
     be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:
     wait, I say, on the Lord.
