THREE DECADES WITH THE SHEPHERD
July 27-28, 2024
Psalm 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want [lack].
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters [waters of rest].
3 He restores my soul; He leads 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 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 runs 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 forever.
