Psalms 23

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

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

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

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

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

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

4 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.

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

5 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.

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

6 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.

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
