The Lord's My Shepherd (Crimond)

Words: The Psalms of David in Meeter, 1650 · Music: David Grant, Jesse Irvine · 1650

Verse 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.

Verse 2
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.

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

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

Verse 5
Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God's house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.
