Psalm 23

Posted on September 27th, 2007 in On Faith, On Parenting, Personal Messages

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.
