A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#38b

38b. The gracious Lord is still, to me

1. The gracious Lord is still, to me,
A Shepherd kind, and faithful Guide;
Whate'er my Wants demand, shall be
By his indulgent Care, supply'd.
2. In Pastures ever fresh, and green,
He feeds, and makes me take my Rest;
He leads me to the silent Stream,
Or Pool which living Springs have blest.

3. My Soul, which his Assistance needs,
He doth restore, by sov'rain Grace;
For his Name's Sake, he gently leads
Me in the Paths of Righteousness.
4. Tho' thro' Death's gloomy Vale I glide,
No threatening Dangers will I fear;
For thou art with me, Lord, to guide
Thy Rod, and Staff, to comfort, there.

5. My Table's with thy Bounties spread
In sight of all my spiteful Foes;
Thou do'st anoint with Qyl my Head,
My Cup with Blessings overflows.
6. Goodness, and Mercy, from my God,
Shall surely crown my future Days;
Therefore I'll make my fixt Abode,
Lord, in thy House of Pray'r, and Praise.
