Der 23. Psalm
Gott ist mein Hirt, mir wird nichts mangeln, er lagert mich auf grüne Weide,er leitet mich an stillen Bächen,er labt mein schmachtendes Gemüth,er führt mich auf gerechtem Steigezu seines Namens Ruhm.Und wall’ ich auch im Todesschatten-Tale,so wall’ ich ohne Furcht,denn du beschützest mich;dein Stab und deine Stützesind mir immerdar mein Trost.Du richtest mir ein Freudenmahlim Angesicht der Feinde zu,du salbst mein Haupt mit Öleund schenkst mir volle, volle Becher ein,mir folget Heil und Seligkeit in diesem Leben nach, einst ruh’ ich ew’ge Zeitdort in des Ew’gen Haus.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to rest in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters;he giveth peace unto my soul.He leadeth me in paths of goodnessfor his name’s sake.Yea, though I walk through valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil,for thou art with me.Thy rod and staff,they comfort me.Thou preparest a table for mein the presence of mine enemies;my head with oil thou anointest;my cup runneth over.Yea, surely peace and mercy all my lifeshall follow me, and I will dwellin the house of the Lord for evermore.

He produced a vast oeuvre during his short life, composing more the 600 vocal works (largely Lieder), and well as several symphonies, operas, and a large body of piano music. He was uncommonly gifted from a young age, but appreciation of his music was limited during his lifetime. His work became more popular in the decades after his death, and was praised by 19th century composers, including Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Liszt.

Der 23. Psalm
Gott ist mein Hirt, mir wird nichts mangeln,
er lagert mich auf grüne Weide,
er leitet mich an stillen Bächen,
er labt mein schmachtendes Gemüth,
er führt mich auf gerechtem Steige
zu seines Namens Ruhm.
Und wall’ ich auch im Todesschatten-Tale,
so wall’ ich ohne Furcht,
denn du beschützest mich;
dein Stab und deine Stütze
sind mir immerdar mein Trost.
Du richtest mir ein Freudenmahl
im Angesicht der Feinde zu,
du salbst mein Haupt mit Öle
und schenkst mir volle, volle Becher ein,
mir folget Heil und Seligkeit in diesem Leben
nach, einst ruh’ ich ew’ge Zeit
dort in des Ew’gen Haus.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to rest in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside still waters;
he giveth peace unto my soul.
He leadeth me in paths of goodness
for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through valley of the shadow
of death I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me.
Thy rod and staff,
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table for me
in the presence of mine enemies;
my head with oil thou anointest;
my cup runneth over.
Yea, surely peace and mercy all my life
shall follow me, and I will dwell
in the house of the Lord for evermore.
