Poem
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

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.
