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

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, tho' 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.  

4 My table Thou hast furnished  
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.
