And He Comforts Me by Joseph Knapicius — Lyrics
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

About And He Comforts Me
Joseph Knapicius sets the words of Psalm 23, a deeply personal expression of faith and trust in divine guidance. The text, famously known as The Lord is My Shepherd, has been a source of solace and inspiration for centuries. Knapicius's setting for SATB voices draws out the comforting message of the psalm, from the peaceful imagery of green pastures and still waters to the assurance of divine presence even in the darkest of times. This sacred English text is rendered with a musicality that seeks to reflect the profound peace and security found in the shepherd's care. The composer's approach aims to convey the text's enduring message of hope and reassurance.
