23b. The LORD's my shepherd, I'll not want

1 The LORD’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
ev’n for his own name’s sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear no ill:
for thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
my head with oil anoint thou dost anoint,
and my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
and in God’s house forever more
my dwelling-place shall be.
