The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 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. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 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.
- 23rd Psalm
How do you take one excerpt from this masterpiece of Scriptural prose? How do you reference anything but the King James version?
This most famous of Scriptural references, from the pen of King David himself, is called for in this week's Lectionary.
We have decided to let it speak for itself without comment. To the one or two people that will actually read this, we invite you to repeat it over and over again today.
