Psalm 23


We had another rehearsal this morning and had to miss church, which always makes for an unsettled feeling for the day and even the week ahead. Some churches read Psalm 23 today in their scripture readings. What better hymn to post today than this familiar psalm? And if you're feeling especially adventuresome, try chanting it!



Psalm 23 (King James Version)

1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
