THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

                                                                          PSALM 23 

The Lord is my Shepherd, 

I have everything I need 

He lets me rest in the 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 can see me;

You welcome me as an honored guest and 

Fill my cup to the brim.

I know that your goodness and love,

Will be with me all my life;

And your houses will be my home

As long as I live.
