The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want

Lyrics from Psalm 23, Music by John Campbell (1854)
It was true for David as He wrote the psalm, and it's true for us today. In every circumstance, the Shepherd provides for His flock.

@Carol, I partially disagree. The sounds of the heavenly host, who sing everyday to the Trinity, are in perfect love to the Lord. Love comes through clearly in music, specially in harmony. This man sings beautifully but he and all of us are still the product of sin, by which the blood of the Lamb cleansed us. We were loved more than what how we loved. The angelic host are angels and others that fought Lucifer in a difficult war, in Heaven. They stood firm in their love of our Creator. When they sing, all the pain, anguish and long standing Love comes through every note. We will never achieve that until the Second Coming, when Christ will give us an incorruptible body and our old spirit, equaling what the angelic host has now.

@@MorningtonCrescent hi, i hope you are well at this time. i do not condone what they did, because it is despicable, but i think you misunderstand God's nature. He is holy and He hates sin and would not endorse all that you have enumerated. The best way to know more about him is for us to go back to His Word, the Bible, and learn what his true nature is. It is better, I believe, to learn what he says about himself, rather than believing what others make Him out to be. Thanks and take care!

The lyrics are from The Scottish Psalter, a metrical version of the Psalms published in 1650 and designed for use in the national (presbyterian) church in Scotland, and which in the vast majority of cases is in agreement in meaning with the Authorized ("King James") translation of the Bible. Books of the words of this version are available cheaply from the Trinitarian Bible Society's online shop, while music editions are also available from other sources, though in the vast majority of cases there are no fixed tunes for specific psalms - most of the psalms are in Common Metre (8.6.8.6) and therefore any tune suited to the words may be used.

[@joyjoyce7141]

What a soothing song, you can't listen to the words in this psalms 23 written by King David and remain the same,no wonder God said on His word he was a man after His heart, no matter whatever he did, he had a repentant heart.
