The Lord is my ship-herd, T shall not want.Yea, though I walk through the Val-ley of the Shad-

ow of Death, I will fear no e-vil, for thou art with- me;thy rod and thy. staff they comfort me.

how great is thy good-ness, which thou hast laidup for them that fear thee, and which thou hast wroughtfor them that trust in thee, even be-fore the sons ofmen.

Lord, make me to know my end, and the mea-sure ofmy days, what it is, that I may know how frail I am.

Be-hold thou hast made my days as a hand's breadth,and my age is as noth-ing be-fore thee.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy sta-tutes, and Ishall keep them to the end. *

Thou art good, and do-est good; teach me thy laws.Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not

sin a-gainst thee.
