’S E’n Tighearna fhèin mo chìobair Cha bhi dìth orm gu bràth; Gu rèitich E na seòlaidean Gam threòrachadh gu ghràs. Gun ciùinich E na gàir- thonnan A shàraicheadh mo chùrs’, ’S an cluaintean uaine Phàrrais Bidh gach ànradh air mo chùl. ’S E’n Tighearna fhèin mo chìobair Cha bhi dìth orm gu bràth; Gu rèitich E na seòlaidean Gam threòrachadh gu ghràs. Gu Seall E sligh’ na fìrinn dhomh Nach dìobair mi rim bheò; Gum beathaich E le ghràsan mi ’S le sàthach fhuil is fheòil; Le Thaic a bhith gam chuartachadh, Cha bhuainnaich orm an nàmh, ’S tro uisge ciùin a thròciar Nì mi seòladh le mo bhàt’ ’S E’n Tighearna fhèin mo chìobair Cha bhi dìth orm gu bràth; Gu rèitich E na seòlaidean Gam threòrachadh gu ghràs. Deasaichidh E bòrd dhomh Fo mo chomhair loma-làn; Mo chupa nì E lìonadh, Bidh gach biadh leam nas fheàrr; ’S ged bhiodh mo shiubhal ànrachdach Tro sgàile gleann nan deòir, Le brìgh a ghràis gum buannaich mi Gu duais an Tìr na Glòir. ’S E’n Tighearna fhèin mo chìobair Cha bhi dìth orm gu bràth; Gu rèitich E na seòlaidean Gam threòrachadh gu ghràs.

The Lord Himself is my Shepherd I shall never want; He will smooth the passages Leading me to his grace. He will calm the breakers That trouble my course In the green meadows of paradise All distress will be behind me. The Lord Himself is my Shepherd I shall never want; He will smooth the passages Leading me to his grace. He will show me the true path That I’ll not forsake while I live; He’ll nourish me with His grace And my fill of His blood and body; With his support about me, My enemy cannot win; Through the calm waters of his mercy I will sail with my boat. The Lord Himself is my Shepherd I shall never want; He will smooth the passages Leading me to his grace. He will prepare a table Fully-laden before me; He will fill my cup, All food to me will be the best; Though my journey be miserable Through the dark vale of tears, By strength of His grace I’ll win through To a reward in the Land of Glory. The Lord Himself is my Shepherd I shall never want; He will smooth the passages Leading me to his grace. Translation: Bill Innes
