1 My shepherd will supply my need,
the LORD his sacred name;
in pastures green he makes me feed
beside the living stream.

2 He brings my wandering spirit back
when I forsake his ways,
and leads me, for his mercy's sake,
in paths of truth and grace.

3 When I descend the darkening path
where death awaits its prey,
you guide me with your rod and staff
and drive my fears away.

4 Before the presence of my foes
a royal feast you spread;
my cup with blessing overflows,
your oil anoints my head.

5 God's mercy, goodness, love and grace
pursue me all my days;
his house shall be my dwelling-place
of everlasting praise.

Psalm 23, David G. Preston based on Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)
