The Twentythird Psalm

In his beautiful book, "I Shall Not Want," Robert Ketchum tells of a Sunday
School teacher who asked her group of children if anyone could quote the
Entire 23rd Psalm. A golden-haired, four-and-a-half-year-old girl was
among those who raised their hands. A bit skeptical,
the teacher asked if she could really quote the entire psalm.
The little girl came to the front of the room, faced the class, made a perky little bow,
and said, "The Lord is my shepherd, that's all I want."
She bowed again and went and sat down.

That may well be the greatest interpretation of the 23rd Psalm ever heard.
