Psalm 23 (Kjv) Poem by Justin Reamer

Psalm 23 (Kjv)



The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures: He leadeth me
beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth
me in the paths of righteousness
for His Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear not evil:
for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff:
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in
the House of the Lord for ever.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This Psalm is from the King James Version. The King James Version was published in 1611 and authorised by King James so that Christians could read the Bible in their own language- English. The KJV Bible had been used faithfully for centuries afterward. It inspired the works of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, John Milton, William Blake, Alexander Pope, Thomas Hardy, Jonathan Swift, and many others. This Bible first established the Apocrypha and had an Apocrypha section in it, but it wasn't until it was revised that it was removed.
