Psalms 23

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

“A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

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

In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.

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

My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

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.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed comfort 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 preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.

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.

Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
