Whose Shepherd Is He?

The 23rd Psalm is perhaps the most widely read psalm in the world. You most often hear it at funerals because of the peace and promise offered to believers. I wonder how often we neglect to remember that all of God’s Word is intended to be read and meditated upon, to guide and fill our daily lives, to center us on who God is and who we are in His sight. (HE LOVES YOU so much!)

Roy Lessin offers a simple way to personalize Psalm 23. As you read it out aloud, put your name in the 17 blanks to remind you how much God cares about YOU!

Psalm 23 – A psalm of David.

The LORD is ————————shepherd.

————————shall not want.

He makes ———————— to lie down in green pastures:

He leads ———————— beside the still waters.

He restores ————————soul:

He leads ———————— in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though ———————— walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

————————will fear no evil:

For You are with ————————;

Your rod and Your staff they comfort————————.

You prepare a table before ———————— in the presence of —————–enemies:

You anoint ———————— head with oil;

————————cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow ————————

All the days of ————————life:

And ———————— will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
