The Lord's My Shepherd

 Japanese Lyrics - 主はわがかいぬし 

主はわがかいぬし　われはひつじ、 みめぐみによりて　すべて足れり.

青草の原に　われを伏させ、 憩いの水辺に　伴いたもう.

主はわが魂　生きかえらせ、 正しき道へと　みちびきたもう.

死の陰の谷を　行くときにも、 災い恐れじ、　主ともにます.

恵みにあふるる　うたげひらき、 油そそぎたもう、わが頭に.

命ある限り　さちはつきず、 主の家にわれは　永遠に住まわん.

 English Lyrics - The Lord's My Shepherd 

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
