Psalm 23

Dominus regit me.
1
The Lord is my shepherd  *
therefore can I lack nothing.
2
He shall feed me in a green pasture *
and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.
3
He shall convert my soul *
and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for his Name’s sake.
4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil *
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
5
Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me *
thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
6
But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life *
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalm 27

Dominus illuminatio
1
The Lord is my light and my salvation ; whom then shall I fear  *
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?
2
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh *
they stumbled and fell.
3
Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid *
and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.
4
One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will require *
even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple.
5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle *
yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone.
6
And now shall he lift up mine head *
above mine enemies round about me.
7
Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness *
I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.
8
Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry unto thee *
have mercy upon me, and hear me.
9
My heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my face *
Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
10
O hide not thou thy face from me *
nor cast thy servant away in displeasure.
11
Thou hast been my succour *
leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
12
When my father and my mother forsake me *
the Lord taketh me up.
13
Teach me thy way, O Lord *
and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.
14
Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries *
for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong.
15
I should utterly have fainted *
but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
16
O tarry thou the Lord’s leisure *
be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart ; and put thou thy trust in the Lord.
