Psalms 23

1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

`The salm, ether the song of Dauid. The Lord gouerneth me, and no thing schal faile to me;

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nurschide me on the watir of refreischyng;

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

he conuertide my soule. He ledde me forth on the pathis of riytfulnesse; for his name.

4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

For whi thouy Y schal go in the myddis of schadewe of deeth; Y schal not drede yuels, for thou art with me. Thi yerde and thi staf; tho han coumfortid me.

5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

Thou hast maad redi a boord in my siyt; ayens hem that troblen me. Thou hast maad fat myn heed with oyle; and my cuppe, `fillinge greetli, is ful cleer.

6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.

And thi merci schal sue me; in alle the daies of my lijf. And that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord; in to the lengthe of daies.
