Psalm 23: Scottish Psalter

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
 He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me
 the quiet waters by.

My soul he doth restore again;
 and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
 ev'n for his own name's sake.

Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
 yet will I fear none ill:
For thou art with me; and thy rod
 and staff me comfort still.

My table thou hast furnished
 in presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
 and my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
 shall surely follow me:
And in God's house for evermore
 my dwelling-place shall be.

Authorized by the Church of Scotland, 1650.
