Lyrics

’S e Dia mo bhuachaill ann an dìth Is laighidh mi an cluainibh glas, E mo thrèoraiche gu uisgeachan ciùin, ’S tha mhaitheas toirt faochadh ’s neart. [chorus] Is cuiridh mi mo dhòchas ann, Is cuiridh mi mo dhòchas ann; Bidh a thròcair Còmhla rium gu bràth, M’ fhear-iùil anns a h-uile h-àm. Am fìreantachd is E mo stiùir, ’S le ola ungaidh E mo cheann; Cuir thairis tha mo chup’ le aobhneas mòr, Dhomh dheasaich E bòrd nach gann [chorus] Is ged a bhios mo shlighe dorch, Chan eagal leam on fhear tha olc, Oir tha Thu fhèin, do shlat ’s do bhata treun, Nan cofhurtachd daonnan dhomh. [chorus]

Lyrics Translated

The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me lie in pastures green. He leads me by the still, still waters, His goodness restores my soul. [chorus] And I will trust in You alone, And I will trust in You alone, For Your endless mercy follows me, Your goodness will lead me home. He guides my ways in righteousness, And He anoints my head with oil, And my cup, it overflows with joy, I feast on His pure delights. [chorus] And though I walk the darkest path, I will not fear the evil one, For You are with me, and Your rod and staff Are the comfort I need to know. [chorus]
