The Lord Is My Shepherd

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.

He leadeth me, he leadeth me

the quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again

and me to walk doth make

within the paths of righteousness,

e’en for his own name’s sake;

within the paths of righteousness,

e’en for his own name’s sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,

yet will I fear no ill;

for thou art with me, and thy rod

and staff me comfort still;

for thou art with me, and thy rod

and staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished

in presence of my foes;

my head thou dost with oil anoint,

and my cup overflows.

My head thou dost with oil anoint,

and my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life

shall surely follow me,

and in God’s house forevermore

my dwelling place shall be;

and in God’s house forevermore

my dwelling place shall be.
