He hath conducted me upon the paths of justice, for his name.Vpon the water of refection he hath brought me vp: he hath conuerted my ſoule.

Thy rod and thy staff: they have comforted me.For, although I ſhal walke in the middes of the ſhadow of death, I wil not feare euils: becauſe thou art with me. Thy rod and thy ſtaffe: they haue comforted me.Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbræ mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua, et baculus tuus, ipsa me consolata sunt.
5Thou hast prepared in my sight a table, against them; that trouble me. Thou hast impinguasti: anointed richly, made abundant, not fattened for slaughter my head with oil: and my chalice inebrians: filling to overflowing, brimming how goodly is it!Thou haſt prepared in my ſight a table, againſt them; that truble me. Thou haſt fatted my head with oyle: and my chalice inebriating how goodlie is it!Parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me ; impinguasti in oleo caput meum : et calix meus inebrians, quam præclarus est !
6And thy mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And that I may dwell in the house of our Lord, in longitudinem: length, duration; a long time, not the geographic coordinate of days.And thy mercie ſhal folow me al the dayes of my life: And that I may dwel in the houſe of our Lord, in longitude of dayes.Et misericordia tua subsequetur me omnibus diebus vitæ meæ ; et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.
