The Lord’s My Shepherd : Lyrics
Alternative settings of The Lords My Shepherd
Alternative setting of Psalm 23
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,
Even for His own Name’s sake.
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 my 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.
- Lyrics from The Scottish Psalter (1650) based upon Psalm 23
