Enjoy this reading of Psalm 23. King James Version (KJV). Instructions for Centering Prayer– 1. Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s presence and action within you. 2. Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settled briefly and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God’s presence and action within. 3. When engaged with your thoughts, return ever-so-gently to the sacred word. (Normal flow in our consciousness-distractions) Don’t resist, let them go and tolerate. 4. At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.

Transcript

And thenfall soon brightened on the other side of the Thessaloniki undergraduateód about 20 years after Erie king's bowing of Christ vetoingternal mixtapes and the Psalm 23.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

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 leadeth me beside the still waters.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

He restoreth my soul.

He restoreth my soul.

Yea,

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no 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 through the years.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23 May the love of God bless you and keep you on your journey.

Amen.
