Two Beautiful Psalms

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not be in want

He make me lie down in green pastures,

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul.

He quides me in paths of righteousness

for his name sake.

Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,

Iwill fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You propare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life.

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord,

all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us,

and we are his;

we are his people,

and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love

endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through

all generations.
