Lyrics
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. (twice) 1. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. 2. He guides me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; you are at my side with your rod and your staff.

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
1. The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
(and restores my strength.)
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
2. He guides me in right paths
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil;
you are at my side with your rod and staff,
they give me security.
