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.
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 e'en for His own name's sake.
Within the paths of righteousness e'en for His own name's sake.

Yea, Though I walk through 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.

My table Thou hast furnishëd
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.

Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God's house for ever more my dwelling place shall be.
And in God's house for ever more my dwelling place shall be.
