TIS THE 23rd PSALM SCOTTISH STYLE.
WHA IS MY SHEPHERD, WEEL I KEN,
THE LORD HIMSEL' IS HE;
HE LEADS ME WHAUR THE GIRSE IS GREEN,
AN' BURNIES QUAET THAT BE.
AFT TIMES I FAIN ASTRAY WAD GANG,
AN WANN'R FAR AWA' ;
HE FIN'S ME OOT, HE PITS ME RICHT,
AN' BRINGS ME HAME AN' A;.
THO' I PASS THROUGH THE GRUESOME CLEUGH,
FIN' I KEN HE IS NEAR;
HIS MUCKLE CROOK WILL ME DEFEN',
SAE I HAE NOCHT TO FEAR.
ILK COMFORT WHILK A SHEEP COULD NEED,
HIS THOCTFU' CARE PROVIDES;
THO' WOLVES AN' DOGS MAY PROWL ABOOT,
IN SAFETY ME HE HIDES.
HIS GUIDNESS AN' HIS MERCY BAITH,
NAE DOOT WILL BIDE WI' ME;
WHILE FAULDED ON THE FIELDS O' TIME,
OR O' ETERNITY.
