Abstract
"The Lord is my shepherd," the opening words of Psalm 23, have provided a sense of comfort and tranquility to millions over the centuries. Along these same lines, the entire psalm is often recited or sung at funerals. However, hymns now make up only 35% of funeral music. The new anthem for West Bromwich Albion fans has adopted "The Lord's My Shepherd" as its theme song. Greenspoon discusses the hymn's being sung at churches and soccer fields.
