The Lord鈥檚 my Shepherd, I鈥檒l 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鈥檚 sake.Yea, though I walk in death鈥檚 dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.My table Thou hast furnish猫d
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鈥檚 house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.
