The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want

English527

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E’en for His own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling-place shall be.

Scottish Bibles in the 17th century often had psalms in meter printed after the book of Revelation. The metrical psalms were sung twice a day in most of the humble cottages of Scotland and so became more familiar to the people than the Bible text itself.

This text of the familiar 23rd Psalm comes from a metrical version by Francis Rous, a member of the British Parliament. He was dissatisfied with the accuracy of other psalm translations being used by the Puritans, some of which took liberties with the meaning to make the words rhyme. As you can see, this version is a faithful paraphrase of David's original. Rous's Psalter was widely used and was authorized by the Westminster Assembly, which also created the Westminster Confession of Faith. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

When I need guidence and ask my Shepherd He guides me to safety and the still quiet waters. I thank Him for being the peace Giver and the Provider of all I need for body, soul and spirit. I am happy to be His sheep.

Beautiful song. We are having 'Night of Psalms' at church tonight and this is one I'll definitely be doing. It's the very first song from the Psalms I learned at primary school in Jamaica almost half a century ago and it's impact is even more powerful today than it was then!

My prayer group and I were inspired to used this hymn as the theme song for a 40 days of prayer (Oct 3-Nov 11, 2011). It is a lovely prayer (see Psalm 23) done in song and we truly appreciate it!

As I was meditating on this hymn, the Spirit assures me of

God's love, mercy. goodness, faithfulness, guidance, greatness, provision, kindness, protection, etc. Father, I thank You for knowing You - Amen. Please Father, touch the hearts of all who do not know You yet with this hymn, Amen! Jehovah-raah- The Lord My Shepherd.

And those who know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek Thee. Psalm 9:10
