Psalms 23

¹ A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

² He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

³ he hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake.

⁴ For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

⁵ Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

⁶ And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
