The Lord's My Shepherd

            The Lord's My Shepherd




            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.

            My soul He doth restore again;
            And me to walk doth make
            Within the paths of righteousness,
            Even for His own Name's sake.

            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 my comfort still.

            My table Thou hast furnished
            In presence of my foes;
            My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
            And my cup overflows.

            Goodness and mercy all my life
            Shall surely follow me;
            And in God's house forevermore
            My dwelling place shall be.
