I was hoping someone could translate these two sentences. They are on some headstones, and I believe they are German:
Der herr ist Mein Hirte
Mir Wird Nichts Mangeln
(This other one, I may have copied wrong, if the spacing is off, or I spelled something wrong, I apologize, they were pretty old headstones)
Bleibet Fest Im Kamfe
Stehn Um Die Ewige Krone
Thank you for any and all help.

Yes, these are German.
The first one is the opening line of the 23rd Psalm:
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want.
The second one means
Stand firm in the fight
Standing round the everlasting crown.
Sounds like a line from a hymn.

sorry for my English,
1) Der Herr ist mein Hirte = The master (God) is my shepherd
2) Mir wird nichts Mangeln = (not wordly that is old German, Luther) I will not have a lack on anything.
3) Bleibet Fest im Kampfe = Stay firm in fight
4) Stehn um die ewige Krone = standing around the everlasting crown.
Greetings from Hamburg,Germany

the usual english translation of your first example is: 'The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want'.
the translations you have are ok though.
