The Lord's My Shepherd-piano |
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in fields of green grass
and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.
He gives me new strength.
He guides me in the right paths,
as he has promised. Even if I go through the deepest darkness,
I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me.
Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.
You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies see;
You welcome me as an honoured guest and fill my cup to the brim.
I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house
will be my home as long as I live.
Psalm 23:1-6
♪ Cutest Lil girl recites Psalm 23 ♪
"There's a true story I love about a house party in one of the big English country houses.
Often after dinner at these parties people give recitations, sing,
and use whatever talent they have to entertain the company.
One year a famous actor was among the guests. When it came his turn to perform,
he recited the Twenty-third Psalm, perhaps the most beloved psalm in the Psalter.
His rendition was magnificent, and there was much applause.
At the end of the evening, someone noticed a little old great aunt dozing in the corner.
She was deaf as a post and had missed most of what was going on,
but she was urged to get up and recite something.
In those days people used to memorize a lot of poetry!
So she stood up, and in her quavery old voice she started,
The Lord is my shepherd, and went on to the end of the psalm.
When she had finished there were tears in many eyes.
Later one of the guests approached the famous actor.
"You recited that psalm absolutely superbly. It was incomparable.
So why were we so moved by that funny, little old lady?"
He replied, "I know the psalm. She knows the shepherd."

~ Nellie's Psalm 23 ~
Eighteen months before she died Nellie wrote a letter to Francis Dixon –
a letter full of encouragement for him as pastor and friend.
Included in the letter was an outline for a sermon on Psalm 23, her favourite psalm.
This outline had seven points – each one including a preposition:
The Lord, My Shepherd is...
1. Beneath me
2. Beside me
3. With me
4. Before me
5. Around me
6. After me
7. Beyond me.
all found to be true in the life and experience of Nellie Harley.

Psalm 23 by Thomas Sternhold, 1549)
1 My Shepherd is the living Lord, nothing therefore I need: In pastures fair, near pleasant streams, h e setteth me to feed. 2 He shall convert and glad my soul, and bring my mind in frame To walk in paths of righteousness for his most holy Name. 3 Yea, though I walk in vale of death, yet will I fear no ill: Thy rod and staff do comfort me, and thou art with me still. 4 And in the presence of my foes My table thou shalt spread Thou wilt fill full my cup, and thou anointed hast my head. 5 Through all my life thy favour is so frankly showed to me That in thy house for evermore my dwelling place shall be. |
Psalm 23: ~ A Psalm of David.~
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.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, 3. He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake. 4. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, 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 overflows. 6. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. |

~ THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD ~
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of
the most quoted passages in the Bible; Psalm 23.
She gave the youngsters a month to learn the verse.
Little Bobby was excited about the task.
But! , he just couldn't remember the Psalm.
After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.
On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of
the congregation, Bobby was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped
up to the microphone and said proudly,
"The Lord is my shepherd and that's all I need to know."

The Twenty-third Psalm
FOR BUSY PEOPLE
The Lord is my pacesetter; I shall not rush.
He makes me stop for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness
Which restore my serenity.
He leads me in ways of efficiency through calmness of mind,
And his guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things
To accomplish each day,
I will not fret,
For His presence is here.
His timelessness and his all-importance
Will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity
By anointing my mind with his oils of tranquility.
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Truly harmony and effectiveness
Shall be the fruits of my hours,
For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord,
And dwell in His house forever.

SAILOR'S 23RD PSALM
The Lord is my Pilot, I shall not drift,
He lighteth me across the darkest waters:
In deepest channels – He steereth me. He keepeth my log.
He guardeth me by-The Star of Holiness, for His name’s sake.
Yea tho’ I sail midst the thunder’s and tempests of life;
I will fear no danger, for thou art with me.
Thy love and Thy care, they shelter me.
Thou preparest a harbour ahead, in the haven of Eternity.
Thou anointest the waves with oil, my boat rideth calmly.
Surely, sunlight and starlight shall favour me, On all the voyages I take.
And I will rest in the port of my God forever,
Amen.
