Psalm 23
Robin Mark Lyrics

The lyrics to Robin Mark's "Psalm 23" are inspired by the 23rd Psalm from the Bible. The opening line, "Yea though I walk through the valley of death, yet will I fear no ill," references the idea that even in the darkest and most difficult moments of life, God will be there to guide and protect. The next line, "Thy rod and staff, are my shield and sword, my Rock and Comforter still," continues this image by referencing the traditional tools of a shepherd. The rod was used to protect the sheep from danger, while the staff was used to guide and direct them. The line suggests that God will serve as both protector and guide in times of trouble.

The second verse speaks to the idea of enduring hardship and standing firm in the face of criticism or rejection. The line "Should all man's scorn, be poured on my form, oh if I'm despised of all be, nor should I care, but I'll gladly bear, as you have borne it for me" suggests that the singer is willing to endure any amount of hardship or persecution, knowing that Jesus himself endured far worse on the cross. The final two lines of the song, "Through all of my days will be filled with Your praise, until I, Your purposes see," reinforce the idea that even in difficult times, the ultimate goal is to serve and honor God.
