The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green meadows
He leads me to fresh waters
He guides me in safe paths for His Sake
Even though I walk in the darkest of valleys
I fear no harm.
For Lord, you are always with me
Your rod and your staff....they comfort me.
You lay a a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows
I know that only goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life
For I dwell in the House of the Lord
Bless the Lord, O His Angels
Mighty Beings, Who do His Bidding Obeying His Spoken Word
Bless the Lord, all His Hosts His Ministers Who carry out His Will
Bless the Lord, all His Works, In all parts of His Dominion
Let my whole Being
Bless the Lord!
He who dwells under the shelter of the Most High,
Who abides under the Shadow of the Almighty,
Says of the Lord
"My refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I trust ".
The Earth is God's and the fullness thereof;
the world and they that dwell therein.
For He hath founded it upon the seas, and
established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord or who shall
stand in His Holy Place?
Only he that hath clean hands and a pure heart;
he, who hath not lifted up his Soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He it is that shall receive the Blessings of God.
The Heavens declare the Glory of God and
the firmament showeth His Handiwork.
The Law of the Lord is perfect for converting the Soul
The Testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The Statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart.
The Commandments of the Lord are pure, enlightening the eyes.
The Love of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever;
The Judgments of God are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea than much fine gold.
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
We seek to understand our errors. Cleanse Thou me from secret faults.
Keep me from presumptuous sins, let them not have dominion over me.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy Sight.
Blessed is the one who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
But delights in the Law of God and in His Law he meditates day and night.
