‘The 23rd Psalm’
For how many of us is the 23rd Psalm the first Bible passage we learn by heart?
Here it is being sung by the choir of Wells Cathedral, England. Very nice, isn’t it?
‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’
The Psalms were originally written to be sung; so somebody at Wells Cathedral, England, made a musical arrangement for the 23rd Psalm, and here’s the cathedral choir singing it.
‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’
For many of us, Psalm 23 is the first Psalm we learn by heart–or even the only Psalm. Here it is, set to music, and sung by the choir at Wells Cathedral. I think King David would approve.
‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’
Psalm 23 set to music, The Lord Is My Shepherd, sung by the choir of Wells Cathedral, England. And thus begins our blogging day…
‘Christ Triumphant, Ever Reigning’
God knows it’s hard to be optimistic, striving toward things that can’t be seen as yet while the things that we do see are–well, you know what the world is like today.
So here, and we need it, is the Wells Cathedral Choir singing Christ Triumphant, Ever Reigning… His reign on earth began in a manger, and every day takes us closer to His glorious return.
‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’
I’m out of hymn requests, so let’s fall back on an old favorite: the 23rd Psalm set to music, The Lord Is My Shepherd, performed by the choir at Wells Cathedral, England.
I wonder if Psalm 23 is the most frequently memorized passage in the Bible. It was read more than any other Psalm, back when Bible readings started our school day. We were Christian kids and Jewish kids, so the readings were all from the Old Testament. And it was better than it is now.
Antidote: ‘The Lord is My Shepherd’
Lest we get too downhearted, remember: the Bible tells us of many times when God’s people in Israel and Judah fell away from their faith. Indeed, Elijah despaired for it almost to the point of death (I Kings 19). And there will be great fallings-away yet to come, as Paul warns us in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Yet even in the worst of times, God says, “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him” (1 Kings 19:18). God always keeps a remnant alive in faith, even in the midst of blazing apostasy.
It may be some of this remnant singing with the choir at Wells Cathedral, The Lord is My Shepherd: Psalm 23 set to music by Howard Goodall.
Individual men and women can come back from atheism, as C.S. Lewis did–and he had a long way to go, too.
The Good Shepherd will not forget His sheep.
Encore! ‘The Lord is My Shepherd’
This one I needed to hear again today, Wells Cathedral Choir and all. Hey, there’s a reason the 23rd Psalm is one of the best-loved chapters in the Bible. And this treatment of it is simply beautiful.
Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might!
