Lyrics: Psalm 23, from the Scottish Psalter of 1650, translated by Francis Rous.
Music: CRIMOND by Jessie S. Irvine.
EVAN by William Henry Havergal.
There are an amazing number of other tunes that will fit these lyrics; it’s written in the same syllabic meter as Amazing Grace, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

Or if you prefer, William Dutton on BBC Songs Of Praise (3 February, 2008), singing Bob Chilcott’s setting of Psalm 23 with Emma Whiteley.

Theme:

God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.
Psalm 23:1-3, The Message.

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.

My soul He doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E’en for His own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling-place shall be.

The video below is NOT, I think, the version of this beloved psalm that people voted for, but it’s supposed to be a “Celtic” version of Psalm 23. I don’t know who the singer is nor who wrote the music or the lyrics (maybe Hillsong?). But I did think it was a rather beautiful rendition.

And here’s a George Herbert poem/hymn version of Psalm 23 posted at Rebecca Writes today.
