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 am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to 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.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff 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 spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

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 love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
