Lyrics from The Poetical Works of James Montgomery. Vol. II, 1860 p. 260

1. The Lord is my shepherd, no want shall I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems when opprest.

2. Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since Thou art my guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay,
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.

3. In the midst of affliction my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head;
O what shall I ask of Thy providence more?

4. Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God!
Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above;
I seek,—by the path which my forefathers trod
Through the land of their sojourn,—Thy kingdom of love.
