343. 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.

3 My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

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

6 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
And in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.
