11. Psalm 23

1 The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supplied;
While He is mine, I His, what can I want beside?
He leads me to the place where heav'nly pasture grows,
Where living waters pass, and free salvation flows.

2 He leads for mercy's sake in paths of truth and grace:
Yeah, for His Holy Name, guides me in righteous ways.
While He affords His aid, I will not yield to fear;
Though through death's value I walk, my Shepherd's with me there.

3 In spite of all my foes, God doth my table spread;
My cup with love o'erflows, and joy lifts up my head.
His bounty and His care soothe my declining days;
I'll dwell for ever in His house, and speak His praise.
