Der Herr ist mein Hirt by Bernhard Klein — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
in loco pascuae, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me;
animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiae propter nomen suum.

About Der Herr ist mein Hirt
A powerful setting of Psalm 23, Der Herr ist mein Hirt (The Lord is my shepherd) by Bernhard Klein is ideal for a solemn occasion such as a funeral or a Requiem service. This motet combines the familiar German text with the original Latin of the psalm, creating a rich and evocative experience. Scored for SATB choir, it offers ample opportunity for expressive choral writing, drawing the listener into the comfort and security of the shepherd's care. The music reflects the psalm's journey from the green pastures and still waters to the valley of the shadow of death, ultimately finding peace and dwelling in the house of the Lord.
