< Psalms 23 >
1 [A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I will not lack.
`The salm, ether the song of Dauid. The Lord gouerneth me, and no thing schal faile to me;
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nurschide me on the watir of refreischyng;
3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
he conuertide my soule. He ledde me forth on the pathis of riytfulnesse; for his name.
4 Even 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.
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 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.
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 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.
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.
