The Lord is my Shepherd and I want to follow,

Valleys and highways he`s waiting for me.

To lay myself down in his love.
The Lord is my shepherd and I want to follow
Wherever he leads me, wherever he goes.
And while on the journey to where we are going

And over the mountains we`ll walk on together
To know all the wonders he`s given to me.

To lay myself down in his love.

Wherever he leads me, wherever he goes. |

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 deaths dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill:
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
My table thou fast 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 for evermore
My dwelling place shall be. |

How gracious is the Lord, and just; our God has compassion. The Lord protects the simple hearts; I was helpless so he saved me.

O precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful. Your servant, Lord, your servant am I: you have loosened my bonds. |

Jerusalem is built as a city strongly compact. It is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord.
For Israel's law it is, there to praise the Lord's name. There were set the thrones of judgement of the house of David.
For the peace of Jerusalem pray: 'Peace be to your homes! May peace reign in your walls, in your places, peace!'
For love of my brethren and friends I say: 'Peace upon you!' For love of the house of the Lord I will ask for your good. |

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt, Lord, who would survive? But with you is found forgiveness: for this we revere you.
My soul is waiting for the Lord, I count on his word. My soul is longing for the Lord more than watchman for daybreak.
Because with the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption, Israel indeed he will redeem from all its iniquity. |

Psalm 142: O Lord, hear my prayer.
Response: O Lord, hear my prayer.
Lord, listen to my prayer: turn your ear to my appeal. You are faithful, you are just; give answer. Do not call your servant to judgement for no one is just in your sight.
I remember the days that are past: I ponder all your works. I muse on what your hand has wrought and to you I stretch out my hands. Like a parched land my soul thirsts for you.
Lord, make haste and give me answer: for my spirit fails within me. In the morning let me know your love for I put my trust in you.
Teach me to do your will for you, O Lord, are my God. Let your good spirit guide me in ways that are level and smooth. |

Like a shepherd he feeds his flock,
And gathers the lambs in his arms.

Leading them home.

Go to the mountain top lift your voice
Jerusalem here is your God.

I myself will shepherd them
For others have led them astray.
The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds
And pasture them giving them rest.

Come unto me
if you are heavily burdened
And take my yoke upon your shoulders,
I will give you rest. |
