PSALM 23 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE

First Line: THE LORD IS MY HERD, NAE WANT SAL FA' ME
Last Line: EVER SYNE I' THE LORD'S AIN HOWFF, AT LANG LAST, SAL I MAK BYDAN.

The LORD @3is@1 my herd, nae want sal fa' me:
2 He louts me to lie amang green howes; he airts me atowre by the lown watirs:

3 He waukens my wa'-gaen saul; he weises me roun, for his ain name's sake,
intil right roddins.

4 Na! tho' I gang thro' the dead-mirk-dail; @3e'en thar@1, sal I dread nae
skaithin: for yersel @3are@1 nar-by me; yer stok an' yer stay haud me baith fu'
cheerie.

5 My buird ye hae hansell'd in face o' my faes; ye hae drookit my heid wi'
oyle; my bicker is @3fu' an'@1 skailin.

6 E'en sae sal gude guidin an' gude-gree gang wi' me, ilk day o' my livin; an'
ever syne i' the LORD'S ain howff, @3at lang last@1, sal I mak bydan.
