1 The Lord is my shepherd, so nothing I lack;
he makes me in pastures to lie;
beside the still waters he gently will lead,
my needs he will daily supply.
2 The Lord is my saviour, my soul he restores,
he found me when lost and astray;
he shows me the way of his truth and his will,
and helps me to trust and obey.
3 The Lord is my shield, I no evil shall fear;
he lightens the dark paths I tread;
he always is near me, with rod and with staff,
and now death itself has no dread.
4 The Lord is my strength, at his table I find
the power to defeat all my foes;
my life he sustains with his kindness and grace,
with blessing my cup overflows.
5 The Lord is my song, of his love I will sing,
I'll dwell in his house all my days;
his goodness and mercy will follow me still,
his name I for ever will praise.
