< Psalms 23 >
1 `The salm, ether the song of Dauid. The Lord gouerneth me, and no thing schal faile to me;
Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
2 in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nurschide me on the watir of refreischyng;
in loco pascuæ, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me;
3 he conuertide my soule. He ledde me forth on the pathis of riytfulnesse; for his name.
animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiæ propter nomen suum.
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.
Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbræ mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua, et baculus tuus, ipsa me consolata sunt.
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.
Parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me; impinguasti in oleo caput meum: et calix meus inebrians, quam præclarus est!
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.
Et misericordia tua subsequetur me omnibus diebus vitæ meæ; et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.
