Psalm 23: The Bay Psalm Book (1640)

The Lord to mee a sheapheard is,
 want therefore shall not I.
Hee in the folds of tender-grasse,
 doth cause mee downe to lie:

To waters calme me gently leads
 Restore my soule doth hee:
he doth in paths of righteousnes:
 for his names sake leade mee.

Yea though in valley of deaths shade
 I walk, none ill I'le feare:
because thou art with mee, thy rod,
 and staffe my comfort are.

For mee a table thou hast spread,
 in presence of my foes:
thou dost annoynt my head with oyle,
 my cup it over-flowes.

Goodnes and mercy surely shall
 all my days follow mee:
and in the Lords house I shall dwell
 so long as dayes shall bee.
