Dominus regit. Ps.23.W.W.

Sing this as the 21 Psalm.

Another of the same by Th. Stern.

Sing this as the 21 Psalm.
1 The Lord is only my support,
and he that doth me feed:
How can I then lack anything
whereof I stand in need;
 
2 How doth me fold in coats most safe:
the tender grass fast by:
And after drives me to the streams,
that run most pleasantly.
 
3 And when I feel myself near lost,
then doth he me home take,
Conducting me in the right paths,
even for his own name sake.
 
4 And though I were even at deaths door,
yet would I fear none ill:
For with thy rod and shepherd’s crook
I am comforted still.
 
5 Thou hast my table richly decked
in despite of my foe:
Thou hast my head with balm refreshed,
my cup doth overflow.
 
6 And finally while breath doth last,
Thy grace shall me defend:
And in the house of God will I
my life forever spend.
1 My shepherd is the living Lord,
nothing therefore I need:
In pastures fair, with waters calm
he sets me for to feed.
 
2 He did convert and glad my soul,
and brought my mind in frame:
To walk in paths of righteousness,
for his most holy name.
 
3 Yea, though I walk in vale of death,
yet will I fear none ill:
The rod, thy staff doth comfort me,
and thou art with me still.
 
4 And in the presence of my foes,
my table thou shalt spread:
Thou shalt O Lord fill full my cup,
and eke anoint my head.
 
5 Through all my life thy favor is
so frankly showed to me:
That in thy house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.
