1The psalm of David. The Lord governeth me, and nothing shall fail to me;

2in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nourished me on the water of refreshing;

3he converted my soul. He led me forth on the paths of rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; for his name.

4For why though I shall go in the midst of shadow of death; I shall not dread evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff; those have comforted me.

5Thou hast made ready a board in my sight; against them that trouble me. Thou hast made fat mine head with oil; and my cup, that filleth greatly, is full clear.

6And thy mercy shall follow me; in all the days of my life. And that I dwell in the house of the Lord; into the length of days.
