Psalm 23: A David Songįrom The Moffatt Bible by James Moffatt © 1922 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days. Thou hast anointed my head with oil and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!Īnd thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.įor though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.
