143. The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want

C.M.
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.
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.
3
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
 
Yet I will fear no ill;
 
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
 
And staff they comfort still.
4
My table Thou hast furnishèd
 
In presence of my foes;
 
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
 
And my cup overflows.
5
Goodness and mercy all my life
 
Shall surely follow me;
 
And in God’s house forevermore
 
My dwelling-place shall be.
