Psalm 23

A Psalme of David.

1 The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
