maketh me to lie down in

still waters.
Song of Songs 1:7-
8 Tell me,
O thou whom my soul loveth, where
thou feedest, where thou makest [
thy flock] to rest at noon:

turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? ... If thou know not,
O thou fairest among women,
go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and
feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
Isaiah 11:6-
7 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. ...

10 And
I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and

and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

and will make them to lie down safely.

remnant of Israel shall
not do iniquity,
nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for

and lie down, and none shall make [
them] afraid.

[son] of Jonas, lovest thou me
more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;
thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my
lambs.
