A message from Duvy Burston.

I am sharing this new song with the world and dedicating this piece to the 11 souls gunned down at the Tree of Life Synagogue, under a mile from where I, too, was praying. The lyrics, which encompass the famous Psalms 23 written by Kind David, often are said in times of distress. “The Lord is My Shepard, I shall not want…Even when I walk in the valley of darkness, I will fear no evil for You are with me…(Psalm 23 Verses 1,4)”. The final verse, which states ‘ May only goodness and kindness pursue me all the days of my life (verse 6)’ is my hope for the community here in Pittsburgh. the whole Jewish nation, and the world at large – that we should be saturated with goodness and kindness.

Translation:
The L-rd is my shepherd, I shall not want. He lays me down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul. He leads me on the path of justice for His Name’s sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in view of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over.
May only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life.
May I live in the House of the L-rd forever.
