The Lord's my Shepherd (Psalm 23) | David C. Mitchell

Setting of the twenty-third psalm, recorded live at Canongate Church, Edinburgh, in 1996. Helen Brough (female lead vocal), David Mitchell (male lead vocal and guitar), Suzanne Adam (verse 2 harmony vocal and violin), Sandy Nicholson (recorder). From the album 'Psalms'. www.brightmorningstar.org.
The Lord's my shepherd-I shall lack nothing;
He pastures me where the peaceful waters flow.
And when I am weary, my soul he restores in me;
He, always the same, guides me in goodness, all for his name.
The Lord's my shepherd-alone through dry land,
He leads my soul where living waters flow.
The Lord's my shepherd-in death's dark valley
I fear no evil for you are by my side.
Your rod will support me, your staff it will comfort me;
So, till shadows flee, lead through the darkness calling to me.
The Lord's my shepherd-in this dark valley
His rod and staff still they comfort me.
The Lord's my shepherd-he spreads before me
A table set where my enemy can see.
My head he anointed, oil he poured upon my head;
My cup overflows; love will surround me wherever I go.
The Lord's my shepherd-he sought and found me,
And I will dwell in his house evermore.

Thanks, @Lilly_2GBTG That's very kind of you. Would you like to sing it in your church?

@@BrightMorningStar I’d love to but my singing is like two tomcats about to fight. 😹 But I so appreciate lovely music and this is that!
I am going to buy your book on the Psalter and then the one on Jesus. Your blog is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. ✝❤🙏🏻

Last year, I arranged this Psalm in the Ashkenazi trope for Scrolls!
It's nice to hear someone else's attempt to compose it. It's not too different, really.
