Psalm 23:2 [My Shepherd Will Supply My Need]

Title:     Psalm 23:2 [My Shepherd Will Supply My Need]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Psalm 23:2. C. M.
The same.


My Shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is his name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed
Beside the living stream.

He brings my wandering spirit back,
When I forsake his ways;
And leads me for his mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.

When I walk thro' the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.

Thy hand, in spite of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.

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 or a guest,
But like a child at home.


[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Psalm 23:2. C. M. [My Shepherd Will Supply My Need]
