Francis Rous • English

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, ev’n for his own name’s sake.
Verse 3
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear none ill: For thou art with me; and thy rod and staff me comfort still.
Verse 4
My table thou hast furnishèd 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 forever more My dwelling place shall be.
