El Señor es mi Pastor

Representative Text

Estribillo:
El Señor es mi pastor;
nada me puede faltar.
El Señor es mi pastor;
nada me puede faltar.

1 El Señor es mi pastor.
¿qué me puede faltar?
En praderas descubiertas
Él me lleva a descansar. [Estribillo]

2 Él me guía en sus senderos
por amor de su nombre;
aunque cruce a obscuras,
ningún mal temeré. [Estribillo]

3 Tú preparas una mesa
frente a mis enemigos;
tú perfumas mi cabeza
y mi copa rebosa. [Estribillo]

4 Demos gloria al Padre,
a Jesús el Señor
y al Espíritu Santo
por los siglos. Amén. [Estribillo]

Ricardo Villarreal composed the text and tune of this setting of Psalm 23, including only the first five (not all six) verses of Psalm 23 as well as a final doxology stanza.
