Psalm 23
There was once a Shakespearean actor
who was known everywhere for his one-man shows of readings and recitations from the classics. He would always end his performance with a dramatic reading of Psalm 23.
Each night, without exception, as the
actor began his recitation -
"The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want"..
the crowd would listen attentively.
And then, at the conclusion of the Psalm,
they would rise in thunderous applause in
appreciation of the actor's incredible ability
to bring the verse to life.
But one night, just before the actor
was to offer his customary recital of
Psalm 23, a young man
from the audience spoke up.
"Sir, do you mind if tonight I recite
Psalm 23?" The actor was quite taken
back by this unusual request,
but he allowed the young man to come
forward and stand front and center
on the stage to recite the Psalm,
knowing that the ability of this
unskilled youth would be no match
for his own talent.With a soft
voice, the young man began to recite
the words of the Psalm.
When he was finished,
there was no applause.
There was no standing ovation as on
other nights. All that could be heard
was the sound of weeping. The audience
had been so moved by the young man's
recitation that every eye was full of tears.
Amazed by what he had heard,
the actor said to the youth, "I don't understand.
I have been performing
Psalm 23 for years.I have a lifetime
of experience and training - but I have never
been able to move an audience
as you have tonight. Tell me, what
is your secret?"The young man quietly replied,
"Well sir, you know the Psalm...I know
the Shepherd."
