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