Psalm 23

 

 1  The Lord is my Shepherd forever,

       He maketh me down to lie,

    He leads me beside the still waters

       O how He does satisfy!

 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,

And I shall feast at the table spread for me;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

 

 2  My Shepherd Himself is my pasture,

       My Shepherd, the waters of rest;

    I eat of His riches in spirit,

       I drink, and O how I am blest!

 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,

And I shall feast at the table spread for me;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

 

 3  My Shepherd my soul is restoring,

       My will, and emotion, and mind;

    And though through the valley I'm walking,

       O what a Companion I find!

 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,

And I shall feast at the table spread for me;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

 

 4  A table prepared by my Shepherd

       I feast on and Satan destroy;

    My head is anointed with oil,

       My cup runneth over with joy!

 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,

And I shall feast at the table spread for me;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

 

 5  And now in His house I am dwelling

       Enjoying the goodness of God;

    My pleasure is far beyond telling,

       My pleasure is Jesus my Lord!

 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,

And I shall feast at the table spread for me;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;
