Psalm 22 / 23

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake.

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it!

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

What the back of the card promises

The words are the edition’s words, letter for letter, which is why they cannot be edited here. Under them the card names the edition and its year, says how the wording was checked, and prints this text’s address and version. A correction to the text, if one is ever made, is listed with its date at makeaprayer.com/corrections, so anyone holding a card years from now can check it.

Nobody credentialed in the tradition has chosen this prayer for a funeral or signed this card. It is a faithful copy of a text, not advice about which text to use. The family’s parish, temple or minister can say what their tradition expects.

What stays on this device

The name, the dates and the photo exist only in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded or saved, and closing the tab discards them. The PDF is your browser’s own Save as PDF, so the card is made on your computer and never on ours. What this site keeps.
