Psalm 23 - Joel Bauman
Description
Lyrics-
The Lord is my shepherd;
He leads me beside the 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 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 runs o’er.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

You anoint my head with oil;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
