The Lord is my herd, nae want sal fa' me. 2. He louts me till lie amang green howes, he airts me atowre by tbe lown waters. 3. He waukens my wa'gaen saul ; He weises me roun', for Wi» am name's sake, intil right roddine. 4. Na ! Tho' I gang thro' the deid mirk dail ; c'en thar sal I dried nae skaithin ; for Yersel' are nar bye me : Yer stok and Yer stay haud me aye cheerie. 5. My buird Ye hae hansell'd in face o' my faes; Ye hae drooMt my head wi' oyle; my bicker is fu' an' skailin'. 6. E'en sac, sal gude guidin* an' gude gree gang wi' me ilk day o' my Uvin' ; an' evermair syne, i' the Lord's am howf, at lang last sal I mak' bydan.
