Psalm 22

1 A Psalm of David.

The Lord tendeth me as a shepherd,

and I shall want nothing.

2 In a place of green grass, there he hath made me dwell:

he hath nourished me by the water of rest.

3 He hath restored my soul:

he hath guided me into the paths of righteousness,

for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death,

I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.

5 Thou hast prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me:

thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil;

and thy cup cheereth me like the best wine.

6 Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life:

and my dwelling shall be in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
