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 helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:
2My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
3He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.
3But you are holy, you who inhabit 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.
4Our fathers trusted in you. 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 to you, and were delivered. 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 no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
