My kids were tasked last night with memorizing Psalm 23. This was an assignment given them in church and one that I wholeheartedly support. In fact, I had asked them about two years ago to do the same thing. Remarkably, it only took a few moments for them to pick up on it again, and this morning my daughter Rebekah was able to recite the entire 23rd Psalm before I left the house.

Think you can do it?

1. The LORD is my shepherd;
   I shall not want.
2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
   He leads me beside the still waters.
3. He restores my soul;
   He leads 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 You are with me;
   Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
   You anoint my head with oil;
   My cup runs 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
   Forever.
