Exemplifying jubilant triumphant life-building partnership Sealed with remarkable intimate relationship Around blissful freedom-bound fellowship Upheld by care of loving leadership Deserving loyal followership…. Such ties my Saviour through cord of sweet friendship Nurtured by Christ upon Scriptural faith’s authorship While I learn from His blessed mentorship Propelling joyous faithful stewardship Along functional fruitful discipleship… God be praised for Psalm 23’s divine craftsmanship inspiring my soul toward sublime worship nourished to reach-out by sovereign guardianship triumphing over trials upon truth’s headship… grateful am I to the Lord* for His shepherding workmanship.
*Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Inspired by “Mizmor Kaf Gimmel” (Psalm 23), the Psalm of David Originally written in Hebrew Translated to English by the King James Version (KJV) Bible translators in 1611 November 21, 2021 1st place, "Inspired By A Translation" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Malabika Ray Choudhury; judged on 12/12/2021. The following is the Hebrew text of Psalm 23 Mizmor Kaf Gimmel (Psalm 23) in English Psalm of David, Psalm 23 1 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.

Just an valid example of Beata's role, as my response to Your comment on my poem "THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS," intimates. Every Christian is a Minister (Peter wrote of our "royal priesthood"). This Ps. 23 offering is superb. And NOT to be shared only at funerals, LOL! shalom, shalom
