God shepherds me, I have
no need of aught beside;
He leads me in green pasture-lands
and where still waters bide.
He calms my troubled thoughts
when I am faint and sore,
And guides my step, for His name's sake,
in straight paths evermore.
I tread the darkened glen
yet falter not nor fear;
Your rod and staff they comfort me
since You Lord still are near.
You spread a feast for me
despite hard-pressing foes,
You will anoint my head with oil,
my cup's abundance flows.
Indeed, goodness and love
will still watch over me,
and in God's house shall be mine home,
now and eternally.
