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,
e’en 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 thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me,
and in God’s house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be. Topics: Assurance; Comfort; Faith; God's Generosity; Guidance; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Renewal; Trust Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: CRIMOND
