Psalm 23
Trevor Morgan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The LORD is my shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
And He leads me beside still waters
And He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His namesake

Even though I walk through the valley

Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For You are with me
Your rod and Your staff
They comfort me
Oh, they comfort me

You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows

Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For You are with me
Your rod and Your staff
They comfort me
Oh, they comfort me

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever
Forever

Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For You are with me
Your rod and Your staff
They comfort me

Oh, they comfort me
Yeah.
