Good Shepard


Good Shepherd, Roman Catacomb

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want
In verdant pastures
He gives me repose.

He guides me in right paths
For his namesake.
Even thought I walk in the dark valley,
I fear no evil;
For you are at my side
With your rod and your staff
That give me courage.

You spread the table before me
In the sight of my foes
That give me courage.

You spread the table before me
In the sight of my foes
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows.

Only goodness and kindness follow me
All the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
For years to come.
