Beginning meditatively with strums from the psalmist’s harp, this melodic setting of the favorite psalm moves onward to a forward flowing song of praise, culminating in closing echoes of “for ever, for ever.”
Lyrics
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Text: Psalm 23
Music by Daniel Burton (www.danielburton.org)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul: he leads 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 you are with me: your rod and your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my
head with oil: my cup overflows.
Surely good-ness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
