The Prayer Psalm 22

The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

He hath set me in a place of pasture.

He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

He hath converted my soul.

He hath led me on the paths of justice,

for His Own name's sake.

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.

Thou hast prepared a table before me

against them that afflict me.

Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

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.

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd:

He shall gather together the lambs with His arm,

and shall take them up to His bosom,

and He Himself shall carry them that are with young.
