The Lord is my Shepherd

There is nothing I shall want.

Sunday's Psalm--16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Lord is my shepherd;

 there is nothing I shall want.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.


In verdant pastures he gives me repose;

beside restful waters he leads me;
 

he refreshes my soul.
 

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

He guides me in right paths for his name's sake.

Even though 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.

  The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

You spread the table before me

in the sight of my foes;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.
 

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
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.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want

Sunday's Psalm--Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King

Sunday's Psalm--28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

In verdant pastures he gives me repose;

beside restful waters he leads me;

he refreshes my soul.

I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

He guides me in right paths
for his name's sake.

Even though 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.

I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

You spread the table before me

in the sight of my foes;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

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.

I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

Psalm 23: 1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6

I had difficulty with the formatting and spacing today. It may have had to do with the order in which I added the different elements of the post. I will have to experiment with it next time. I did the descriptions of the photos next to them for two reasons. One was that it was requested. The other was that if I do it that way I won't skip any pictures like I did last week. I am ambivalent about it. Do you think it distracts? or do you like it better this way? Let me know.

At Mass, the psalm is read or sung as a responsorial. The R. represents the part that is repeated by the congregation as a response to the choir or reader. Because of the repetitive nature of it, I decided not to try to find a different picture for the response verse for each time it is repeated. It is hard to choose four or five pictures to illustrate the same verse.
