The Lord's My Shepherd
Verse 1
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by,
The quiet waters by.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by,
The quiet waters by.
Verse 2
My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for his own name’s sake,
Even for his own name’s sake.
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for his own name’s sake,
Even for his own name’s sake.
Verse 3
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff my comfort still,
And staff my comfort still.
Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff my comfort still,
And staff my comfort still.
Verse 4
My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows,
And my cup overflows.
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows,
And my cup overflows.
Verse 5
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God’s house forevermore,
My dwelling place shall be,
My dwelling place shall be.
Shall surely follow me;
And in God’s house forevermore,
My dwelling place shall be,
My dwelling place shall be.
