The Lord Is My Shepherd is more than just words in the Christian world. It has become an icon that stands for the love, comfort, security, mercy and hope that a life in Jesus Christ affords. This icon has mainly found its way into our harts and minds through the 23rd Psalm of David, and the much loved gospel Hymn by the same name. You can find both of them on this page. Remember, as you read and sing, that the Shepherd is no other than Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth 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 thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth 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 for ever. (Psalms 23:1-6)
