  Lord gouerns me he nathyng sall me want;
  in sted of pasture thare he me sett.
  On the watere of rehetynge for he me broght;
  my saule he turnyd.
  He led me on the stretis of rightwisnes; for his name.
  For whi if i. had gane in middis of the shadow of ded;
  i. sall noght dred noght dred illes, for thou ert with me.
  Thi wand and thi staf; thai haf confortyd me.
  Thou has ordand in my syght the bord; agayns thaim that angirs me.
  Thou fattid my heued with oyle; and my chalice drunkynand what it is bright.
  And thi mercy shall follow me; all the dayes of my lif,
  And that i wan in the hows of lord; in length of dayes.

Richard Rolle's Psalter, Yorkshire, c. 1340, (The Psalter or Psalms of David. Ed. H.R. Bramley. Oxford, 1884.)
