In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate translations of the Bible, this psalm is Psalm 22. The Book of Psalms is part of the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and a book of the Christian Old Testament. In Latin, it is known by the incipit, " Dominus regit me". Psalm 23 is the 23rd psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: " The Lord is my shepherd".

The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you His words help us speak of this unspeakably painful thing and communicate with each other through our silent sorrow:Īnd it’s hard, the days just seem so dark Sam Smith offers us a tool to use at funerals, in conversations, and at gatherings. “Lay Me Down” is good medicine to help us be in that storm, held by the warmth of a simple melody and the comfort of knowing that others share our irrational hope to see a loved one who has died once more - to turn back time and relieve the pain of physical separation.Įxploring the dimensions of loneliness is a bitter journey to undertake alone. To be bereaved - literally, “to be torn apart” - is the storm we must weather if a sense of calm and balance is to be restored in our lives.
You told me not to cry when you were goneīut the feeling’s overwhelming, it’s much too strong
