150a. Psalm 23

1 My shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is his name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed
Beside the living stream.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back
When I forsake his ways,
And leads me for his mercy's sake
In paths of truth and grace.

2. When I walk through the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A Word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Thy hand in sight of all my foes
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.

3. The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may thy house be mine abode,
And all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest,
(While others go and come),
No more a stranger, nor a guest,
But like a child at home.
