The Twenty-Third Psalm

[Bishka]

This is an amazing window from the Grace Cathedral in San Fransisco, California. This stained-glass window represents the Twenty-Third Pslam.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want". (v. 1)

"... he leadeth me beside the still waters." (v. 2)

"...I will fear no evil: for thou art with me..." (v. 4)


​

 

[Bishka]

"....thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." (v. 4)

"Thou preparest a table before me...." (v. 5)

".....thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." (v. 5)

"....I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." (v. 6)

[Bishka]

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Music

The Lord is my Shepherd; no want shall I know.
I feed in green pastures; safefolded I rest.
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.

Thru the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear.
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay.
No harm can befall with my Comforter near.
No harm can befall with my Comforter near.

In the midst of affliction my table is spread.
With blessings unmeasure my cup runneth o'er.
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head.
Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence more?
Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence more?

(Text: James Montgomery, 1771-1854)
