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. Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 4: My table Thou hast furnished In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil anoint, 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.
