Psalm 23:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; My head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows.

See the chapter Copy

But thou shalt, like unto the horn of th' unicorn, exalt My horn on high: thou with fresh oil anoint me also shalt.

Thou lovest right, and hatest ill; for God, thy God, most high, Above thy fellows hath with th' oil of joy anointed thee.

God is of mine inheritance and cup the portion; The lot that fallen is to me thou dost maintain alone.

And wine, that to the heart of man doth cheerfulness impart, Oil that his face makes shine, and bread that strengtheneth his heart.

I'll of salvation take the cup, on God's name will I call:

The meek shall eat, and shall be fill'd; they also praise shall give Unto the Lord that do him seek: your heart shall ever live.

Against the Lord himself they spake, and, murmuring, said thus, A table in the wilderness can God prepare for us?

Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall: all who to dust descend Shall bow to him; none of them can his soul from death defend.

Mine eyes shall also my desire see on mine enemies; Mine ears shall of the wicked hear that do against me rise.
