Psalms, 22
God's spiritual benefits to faithful souls.
Dominus regit me.
[1] A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me 1: and I shall want nothing. •
Ruleth me: In Hebrew, Is my shepherd, specifically, to feed, guide, and govern me.
[2] He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: •
[3] He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake. •
[4] For 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. •
[5] Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it! •
[6] And 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. •
