The Lord, Shepherd and Host

1 A psalm for David.

The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

2 He hath set me in a place of pasture.
He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

3 He hath converted my soul.
He hath led me on the paths or justice,
for his own name's sake.

4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evils, for thou art with me.
Thy rod and thy staff,
they have comforted me.

5 Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me.
Thou hast anointed my head with oil;
and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
