to my Lover, the Lord

“The Lord is my sheperd; 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 on paths of righteousness, for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley 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 love will follow me all of the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the lord, forever.”


(Psalm 23, A Psalm of David, KJV*)
