As we prepare for our annual trek to the north shore I usually reread the psalm I wrote years ago. I’ve posted it before but am posting it again. It continues to capture my feelings about wonderful Lake Superior and the north shore.
Lake Superior Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall thank him.
He allows me to come to Lake Superior
And hear the calming waves.
He restores my soul.
He guides me on the trails of the Superior Forest
And leads me along the rocky shores.
Even when the waves are rough – even when the lake is calm,
I look forward to coming,
And He is with me.
His creation and His majesty, they comfort me.
He anoints me with many blessings
My cup overflows and I am grateful.
Surely I will praise him and follow him
All the days of my life,
I‘m grateful to dwell in His presence
On the shores of Lake Superior.

Have a wonderful time Valerie❣️ I know you will be up early enjoying more beautiful sunrises 😆
Yes, I will be sure to set the alarm to catch the sunrises!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Therese.
wow what a neat psalm
Thank you Barb.
You’re such a talented writer Valerie. We just returned from a trip up to the North Shore staying at Naniboujou Lodge (north of Grand Marais) right on Lake Superior and hiked in Judge Magney State Park. Such a peaceful and relaxing trip. Loved your version of Psalm 23 – you hit the nail on the head! Have a delightful time and looking forward to seeing you next month!
Thank you Shirley.
The hike at Judge Magney SP, to Devil’s Kettle, is a favorite of our…so interesting.
I’m glad you enjoyed your time at Naniboujou Lodge. It is a beautiful place, with a great shoreline.
