These Psalms Are Best Viewed With A Glass Of

Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky



Psalm 22
Dominus Regit Me

Douay/Challoner Version

1609/1752

The Lord ruleth me:  and I shall want nothing.
He hath set me in a place of pasture.  He hath brought me up, on the
    water of refreshment:
He hath converted my soul.  He hath led me on the paths of justice,
    for his own name's sake.
For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will
    fear no evils, for thou art with me.  Thy rod and thy staff,
    they have comforted me.
Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me.
    Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which
    inebreateth me, how goodly is it!
And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life.  And that I may
dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.


Psalm 23

Authorized Version (KJV)

1611

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:  he leadeth me beside the
    still waters.
He restoreth my soul:  he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for
    his name's sake.
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 they
    comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
    thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
    and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
