About The Shepherd Psalm
Psalm 23 is perhaps the most memorized passage in all of scripture. Its six short verses move from green pastures and still waters through the dark valley and out again into a table set in the presence of enemies — and a cup so full it runs over. For centuries it has been the poem people reach for in both grief and gratitude, its images as vivid and steadying today as the day they were first sung.
