The Lord Is My Shepherd lyrics

[Verse 1] The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. [Chorus] He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. [Verse 2] Yea, 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. [Chorus] He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. [Bridge] You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. [Chorus] He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. [Outro] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”

This line establishes the central metaphor of God as a shepherd, a common biblical image for divine guidance and provision, implying that all needs will be met.

“Yea, 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.”

This powerful imagery speaks to facing extreme danger or despair without fear, due to the comforting presence and protection of God, symbolized by the shepherd's rod and staff.

“You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.”

This line illustrates God's abundant provision and honor, even in challenging circumstances, suggesting a victory or blessing witnessed by adversaries.
