The Twenty Third Psalm
|
I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me by the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the path of righteousness For His name's sake. 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. Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies: Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. 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. |
Written by David, son of Jesse in the Old Testament, who would later become king and become a famous man in Hebrew history, this psalm was written possibly as David tended sheep. David was a poet and musician and he used his poetry and music to praise God for His wonderful works awesome power, and His love towards His children. This Psalm is one of the most well known and loved by Christian believers.
