Psalms 23 - New Testament in Braid Scots 1904 (William Wye Smith)THE TWENTY‐THIRD PSAUM. Dauvid is aye unreelin a pirn about Christ. Here he pents him as a Shepherd, and his sel as a silly bit lammie. It evens weel wiʼ the tenth oʼ John. 1 The Lord is my Shepherd; my wants are aʼ kent; 2 the pasture I lie in is growthie and green. I follow by the lip oʼ the watirs oʼ Peace. 3 He heals and sterklie hauds my saul: and airts me, for his ain nameʼs sake, in aʼ the fit‐roads oʼ his holiness. 4 Aye, and though I bude gang throwe the howe whaur the deid‐shadows faʼ, Iʼse fear nae skaith nor ill, for that yersel is aye aside me; yere rod and yere cruik they defend me. 5 My table ye hae plenishʼt afore the een oʼ my faes; my heid ye hae chrystit wiʼ oyle; my cup is teemin fuʼ! 6 And certes, tenderness and mercie sal be my faʼ to the end oʼ my days; and syne Iʼse bide iʼ the hoose oʼ the Lord, for evir and evir mair! |
