PSAL. XXIII Dauids confidence in Gods grace

A Psalme of Dauid.

1 The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie downe in +greene pastures : he leadeth mee beside the +still waters.
3 He restoreth my soule : he leadeth me in the pathes of righteousnes, for his names sake.
4 Yea though I 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 preparest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies : thou +anointest my head with oyle, my cuppe runneth ouer.
6 Surely goodnes and mercie shall followe me all the daies of my life : and I will dwell in the house of the Lord +for euer.

+ Heb. pastures of tender grasse
+ Heb. waters of quietnesse
+ Heb. makest fat
+ Heb. to length of dayes
