The Lord Is My Shepherd

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is a my shepherd;
b I shall not 1 want.
2 c He makes me to lie down in 2 green pastures;
d He leads me beside the 3 still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
e He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of f the shadow of death,
g I will fear no evil;
h For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You i prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You j anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will 4 dwell in the house of the LORD
5 Forever.
