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.

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.
