Psalm 23
from The Bay Psalm Book
The Lord to me a shepherd is,
Want therefore I shall not,
He in the folds of tender grass
Doth make me down to lie
To waters calm he gently leads
Restore my soul doth he
He doth in paths of righteousness
For his names sake lead me.
Yea though in valley of death’s shade
I walk none ill I’ll fear,
Because thou art with me, thy rod,
and staff my comfort are.
For me a table thou hast spread
In presence of my foes;
Thou dost annoint my head with oil
My cup it over-flows.
Goodness and mercy surely shall
All my days follow me;
And in the Lord’s house I shall dwell
So long as days shall be.
Pray: Psalm 23
Lord,
You are my shepherd.
You guide me
down the right path,
to green pastures,
by quiet waters,
where You restore my soul.
I trust and am not afraid,
even in the darkest valley
where death seems all around
I trust and am not afraid
because You comfort me.
You prepare me a table,
You anoint my head,
You fill my cup.
I trust and am not afraid,
because in Your house
I will dwell forever.
Lord,
You are my shepherd.
