My Rendition of Psalm 23

The Lord’s my shepherd, my soul He doth keep, I shall not want, for I’m His well-fed sheep, In green pastures, He makes me to lie down, Leads me beside still waters of renown, My soul He restores, protects and feeds me, In the paths of righteousness, He leads me, Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I’ll fear no evil, for You hold my breath, You’re ever with me, Your love makes me whole Your rod and Your staff, they comfort my soul, You set a table for me midst my foes, You anoint my head, my cup overflows, Goodness and mercy will sure follow me, I’ll dwell in God’s house for eternity. 06.08.2021

Good restating of the Psalm. We do need to make the scripture personal because each line is personal to each one of us. Congrats on your winning faith based work. Way to go. Sara

This is so beautiful Joe. It reminds me of the concept of sharanagathi as propounded in Bhagvad Gita. Same it says.

Psalm 23 is so perfect that it is rare to find a substitute for it. Still, you did well. Wonderful. Hugs.

Hi Jo, Psalms 23 is one of my favorite chapter and verse in the Bible. I enjoyed your rendition of it. I saw L. Milton’s, take on Psalms 23; I liked it to. Well done. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis
