The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want

“The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not be in want” Psa. 23:1

1. The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want
   That’s why I am so glad;
   I do not suffer any want,
   Which is good with my life.
   
2. He makes me lie in pasture green,
   Where harm nor ill touch me;
   He leadeth me to go with Him,
   Where quiet waters roll.
   
3. My soul He doth restore again;
   And me to walk doth make.
   Within the path of righteousness,
   E’en for His own name’s sake
   
4. Yea, thou I walk in death’s dark vale,
   Where dangers surround me;
   Amidst the evil here and there
   Yet will I fear no ill.
   
5. Because I’ve seen Thee, O my Lord,
   Art Thou with me always:
   Thy rod and staff bring me comfort,
   And gladness fills my heart.
   
6. My table Thou hast prepared,
   In presence of my foes;
   And all the power and might granted,
   To take my portion all.
   
7. My head thou dost with oil anoint,
   My saviour and my God;
   And doth my cup to overflow,
   Till I am satisfied.
   
8. Goodness and mercy all my life,
   Shall surely follow me;
   All the days of my life shall be,
   Filled with love and gladness.
   
9. And in God’s house for evermore.
   My dwelling place shall be;
   Where God has portioned there for me.
   A happy dwelling place.
