God, you are our
shepherd;
because you are, we
shall not want.
Let me not fret when
misfortune comes,
asking why you let it
happen to me.
Save me from yearning
for bye-gone days,
and grant me the
assurance that you will supply
what I really need,
and you will increase
the harvest of
righteousness.
Enter the strong man's
house and tie him up,
that I may be free to
do your will.
