1A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.
1My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
2He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:
2I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
3He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.
3Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4For 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.
4In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
5Thou 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!
5They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
6And 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.
6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
