bay psalms

Bay Psalm Book: Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

1 THe Lord to me a shepherd is,

want therefore shall not I.

2 He in the folds of tender-grass,

doth cause me down to lie:

To waters calm me gently leads

3 Restore my soul doth he:

he doth in paths of righteousness:

for his names sake lead me.

4 Yea though in valley of deaths shade

I walk, none ill I’ll fear:

because thou art with me, thy rod,

and staff my comfort are.

5 For me a table thou hast spread,

in presence of my foes:

thou dost anoint my head with oil,

my cup it over-flows.

6 Goodness and mercy surely shall

all my days follow me:

and in the Lords house I shall dwell

so long as days shall be.
