Great Regulars: To celebrate the 400th anniversary

of the publication of the King James Bible, and the work of those earlier translators like John Rogers, Myles Coverdale and William Tyndale, whose scholarship and musicality paved the way, I've turned to the Book of Psalms for this week's poem. No apologies for picking that old favourite--since it so thoroughly earns its popularity--Psalm 23. But is it poetry? you'll ask. I'd have to say well, in the broader sense, I think it probably is.
