Please honor our warriors, past and present with this Psalm

In Vietnam, I often saw bits and pieces of the following Psalm, the most popular psalm in the Bible, written or painted or taped on various pieces of body armor. Unfortunately, very often, the wearer had much the same expression on his face. Please honor this warrior, and all those before and after him, by praying the following:

PSALM 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, a]">[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
