The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
deer resting in the meadow near Paradise, Mt. Rainier National Park beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.

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

I fear no evil; for you are at my side

You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;

my cup overflows.

Only goodness and kindness follow me

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.

One of the most well known psalms. It is so good to visit it in verse rather than hymn sometimes.
I preferred getting the captions at the bottom of the post, although I appreciate you can miss one out but this is rare (for you). Having the captions by the photos does detract a little from the psalm for me, but that's just me! (Easily distracted!) For me, the response actually detracts but that is just me as I say. It is your blog Katney and you write as you are comfortable to write it. I only mentioned preferences because you asked. I will still read them no matter how you present them!
I loved the illustrations - especially the table and the overflowing 'cup'. Very well illustrated.
Beautiful as always! I love the reflection in the windows and the little squirrel! I think I like the captions with the photos. I'm sure you will work out the bugs when you do it again :-)
"Louis" sang the tenor line to the Pavlecho setting of this Psalm in his parish choir this morning. The antiphon for the Psalm was adopted from 'Brother James's Air,' another setting of this Psalm.
As always, you found appropriate photos to illustrate the Psalm text. Your Sunday Psalm is one of "Louis's" favorite places to visit.
Thank you! Your smaller print did not distract me from the psalm. I hope you will continue that way.
My favorite was the reflection in the window -- the last one. I felt each one fit perfectly with its verse. Have you considered writing the verse ON the photo? Something to think about. I have seen posters that way. I look forward to your psalm each week!
