Psalm XXIII.

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is amy shepherd; bI shall not want.

2  cHe maketh me to lie down in * green pastures:

dHe leadeth me beside the * still waters.

3  He restoreth my soul:

eHe leadeth me in the paths of righteousness ffor his name’s sake.

4  Yea, ffthough I walk through the valley of gthe shadow of death,

hI will fear no evil: ifor thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5  jThou preparest a table before me kin the presence of mine enemies:

Thou * lanointest my head with oil; my mcup runneth over.

6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord * for ever.
