2 He makes me to lie down and rest In [pleasant] pastures, tender grass; He keeps and gently leadeth me Near [the sweet] streams of quietness.
3 My failing soul he doth restore, And lead in [safe and] righteous ways; And all this freely, that his grace And [holy] Name may have the praise.
4 And though my daily walk do lie Through death's [dark] vale [yet] thou art there; All being managed by thee, [Therefore] no evil will I fear. For in my lowest darkest state The Lord [of Love] is with me still: Thy Rod and Staff shall comfort me, And keep me from all [deadly] ill.
5 Thy bounty doth my Table spread In presence of my [envious] foes; ⟨p. 32⟩My head refreshing Oil anoints; My [plenteous] cup still overflows.
