Psalm 23
1599 Geneva Bible

23 1 Because the Prophet had proved the great mercies of God at divers times, and in sundry manners, he gathereth a certain assurance, fully persuading himself that God will continue the very same goodness towards him forever.

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my (A)shepherd, [a]I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to rest in green pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

3 He [b]restoreth my soul, and leadeth me in the [c]paths of righteousness for his Name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I should walk through the valley of the [d]shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 Thou dost prepare a [e]table before me in the sight of mine adversaries: thou dost [f]anoint mine head with oil, and my cup runneth over.

6 Doubtless kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall remain a long season in the [g]house of the Lord.
