Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Therefore, I shall not want
You make me to lie down, Lord
In pastures that are green
You lead me beside still waters
You restore my soul
You lead me into paths of righteousness my Lord
For Your name's sake...
You are the light that guides me
You are shield about me
A loving shepherd
The one who leads me home
Surely, goodness and mercy
Shall follow me
All my days
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever and ever more
Yea though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, Lord
For You are here with me
Your rod and Your staff, O God
They comfort me
You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
For You are ...
You are the light that guides me
You are shield about me
A loving shepherd
The one who leads me home
Surely, goodness and mercy
Shall follow me
All my days
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever and ever more
I cast all of my cares at Your feet
For I know that You care for me, yeah
And You anoint my head with Your oil
My cup now overflows
