Psalm 23

 

开云体育

I’m sorry if I offend anyone, but this always brings me comfort in the worst of times:

Psalm 23
King James Version

23?The?Lord?is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

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

4?Yea, 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.

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

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

I don’t believe any of that stuff but the words and the rhythm are amazing, like a lovely poem, and can be very calming, so that is important.

It is beautiful, John. ?We sang it at my father’s funeral in 1982, his favourite hymn. ?It encapsulates what God gives us.

There are many meditations on the Psalm, but here’s one:?
