Psalm 23
The 23rd Psalm has been a beloved Psalm for people of faith for thousands of years. It has been recited at funerals and in foxholes. It has been said at kitchen tables and while kneeling at bedsides. It has been repeated across the world and history by millions of people when feeling alone, afraid, or in despair. It is perfect for those moments when we need assurance, faith, and hope. Today, the twenty-third Psalm in the old King James version is our message and our prayer. Let us pray:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 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. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.
