The Lord My Shepherd King- Psalm 23
The Lord who is God reigns above
forever be always my shepherd king
in green pastures beside still waters
making my heart always in him cling
Bringing restoration to my soul
following my Lord the righteous route
walking in step fearing no evil
even death's shadows I can shoot
The shepherd's rod my true comfort
assured of his merciful goodness so true
all of my life's days they follow
so to dwell in Lord's house, I will do
(The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.)
Psalm 23
