Dauid resemblyng God to a sheephearde and hym selfe to a sheepe, declareth that all commodities, plentie, quietnesse and prosperitie, ensueth them that be fully per∣swaded of Gods prouidence: for God feedeth, norisheth, defendeth, and gouerneth those that put their wholl trust in hym after a more ample sort then any sheepe∣hearde doth his sheepe.
1 GOd is my sheephearde, therfore I [unspec A] can lacke nothyng: he wyll cause me to repose my selfe in pasture full of grasse, and he wyll leade me vnto calme waters.
2 He wyll conuert my soule: he wyll bring me foorth into the pathes of righ∣teousnesse for his name sake.
3 Yea though I walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I wyll feare no euyll: for thou art with me, thy rodde and thy staffe be the thynges that do comfort me.
4 Thou wylt prepare a table before me in the presence of myne aduersaries: thou hast annoynted my head with oyle, and my cup shalbe brymme full.
5 Truely felicitie and mercie shal folowe me all the dayes of my lyfe: and I wyll dwell in the house of God for a long tyme.
