The Lords My Shepherd - Inspirational hymns

"The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want" first appeared in print in the Scottish Psalter of 1650. This Psalter was assembled by the Westminster Assembly, which also gave us the Westminster Confession and the Book of Common Prayer. In it, portions from various sources were combined to create the beautiful hymn we know today. Though it was well-loved in Scotland, "The Lord's My Shepherd" did not enjoy popularity outside the Church of Scotland for nearly 300 years. It finally appeared in the Methodist Hymnal of 1876 and later the Congregational Hymnal of 1916. But it wasn't included in an Anglican hymnbook until 1965. The hymn version of Psalm 23 remains faithful to David's psalm. Its popularity in England grew in part because of its use during the 1947 marriage ceremony between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. Since that time, it's become a well-known hymn, often requested for weddings and funerals today.

@gotohellfast That has nothing to do with this vid so... no. In Biblical times the value of a woman was considered little more than a sheep, which is why the Bible is so extraordinary in giving them a much more important position than was usual. Mary mother of God, the first witnesses of Jesus living, the woman who touches his cloak and is praised for her faith etc. Jesus was a great equaliser. Old Testament passages that contradicted him were made defunct

@JJJProductions068 Do you know,that the value of a woman was almost the same as a sheep,at biblical times?Do you agree , that we have to stone people to death for working on Saturday?

I am not a Scottish Protestant but I love this hymn -a protestant hymn to be sure- which is a classic hymn of Scotland sung by both Catholics and Protestants.

@gotohellfast You need to read the parable of the Good Shepherd to understand. Ever thought about doing that?
