Verse 1: The Lord is my Shepherd forever, He maketh me down to lie, He leads me beside the still waters O how He does satisfy! Verse 2: My Shepherd Himself is my pasture, My Shepherd, the waters of rest; I eat of His riches in spirit, I drink, and O how I am blest! Verse 3: My Shepherd my soul is restoring, My will, and emotion, and mind; And though through the valley I'm walking, O what a Companion I find! Verse 4: A table prepared by my Shepherd I feast on and Satan destroy; My head is anointed with oil, My cup runneth over with joy! Verse 5: And now in His house I am dwelling Enjoying the goodness of God; My pleasure is far beyond telling, My pleasure is Jesus my Lord!
