Psalm 23

Becauſe the Prophet had proued the great mercies of God at diuerſe times, and in ſundrie maners, he gathereth a certeine aſſurance, fully perſuading him ſelf that God wil continue the verie ſame goodnes toward him for euer.
A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.THe Lord is my  ſhepherd, I ſhal not want.
2.He maketh me to reſt in grene paſture, & leadeth me by the ſtil waters.
3.He reſtoreth my ſoule, & leadeth me in the paths of righteouſnes for his Names ſake.
4.Yea, thogh I ſhulde walke through the valley of the ſhadow of death, I wil feare no euil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy ſtaffe, they comfort me.
5.Thou doeſt prepare a table before me in the ſight of mine aduerſaries: thou doeſt anoint mine head with oyle, and my cup runneth ouer.
6.Douteles kindenes, & mercie ſhal follow me all the dayes of my life, and I ſhal remaine a long ſeaſon in the houſe of the Lord.
