 | The simple beauty of this Psalm has made it a favorite for almost 3000 years. It is a series of affirmations in the face of life's obstacles, and it's poetic imagery has a calming, healing effect.
There are many tunes to this Psalm, and this is an easier one. Psalms make up about 30% of the Jewish daily 3 or so hours of prayer, and 23 is said many times during Shabbat.
Scan the sections in the video from right to left. The Hebrew words are the determining factor of each slide. It will take several viewings to learn it, but it's pretty short so once you're familiar with the way it works, you'll be able to sing it. Pause it until you're familiar with the sounds. A couple of lines toward the end are tongue twisters, but most of it is pronouncable. Psalm 23 is relatively short - some of the Psalms are ten times as long as tehila chaf gimel - Psalm 23.
In addition to the thoughts and feelings evoked by the words of the Psalm, there are the benefits of seeing and pronouncing the letters as a meditation in itself. Allow yourself to traverse these two modes of experience as you learn, and it will deepen the beneficial effect.
Here is a straightforward translation, with some comments.
A song of David.
Hashem [lit. 'the name'] is my shepherd [lit. 'watcher']; I shall not want.
[Hashem] guides me to lie down in green pastures;
Leads me beside waters of menucha [rest, tranquility].
Hashem restores my soul [breath];
And leads me in paths of righteousness for the sake of the Holy Name.
Even when I walk in the valley in the shadow of death [live in fear of death], I will fear no evil
for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff-they comfort me.
You set a table before me in the face of my adversaries;
You anointed my head with oil [oil - used to light the Menorah, symbol of Torah wisdom];
my cup overflows.
May only goodness and kindness pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of Hashem, the Creator, for the length of all days.

You may note that the Havaya, the Holy Name, is shown as two letter yuds, instead of the actual four letter formation. The double yud is a traditional "shield" to protect the Holiness and inexpressibility of what we mean by "God," or "Eternal," or "Creator." The double yuds are a "thicker shell." When the four letter name is written or printed, it must be protected, and if disposed of, must go into a 'genizah,' a special burial place for sacred texts.
The genizah of Cairo yielded original versions of Biblical texts back in 1906, showing exact correlations with modern versions.
Whether or not overwriting or erasing an electronic file constitutes a desecration of the Name is a tricky problem. After all, it's only ones and zeros, right? A thought form? N'est-ce pas?

 | All together there are three different videos of the shopping trip (check my channel or the video responses).
Thursday 23th October 2008
Below is a summary of MJ's trip from different news sources:
The King of Pop was at the Off The Wall, West Hollywood antique store that bears the same name as his 1979 album, on Melrose Avenue, in Los Angeles on Thursday (23 Oct 08). The star bought a silver Pan Am aluminum model airplane.
An eyewitness said Michael was looking around at other items but only purchased the plane. "It was a little difficult because people were pounding on doors and windows...so he was in and out pretty quick. The paparazzi were in hot pursuit of him."
Despite the chaos going on outside, the source said Michael didn't seem worried, "He was great".
As Jackson was exiting the store, another eyewitness said that paparazzi and fans were everywhere. "He came out and shielded himself with an umbrella at first. Once he got in his car, he cracked the window and reached out and started shaking people's hands."
The 50-year-old King of Pop later made a stop at a Robertson Boulevard boutique to shop.
Jackson browsed through the skin care products and picked up a package of Epicuren Discovery, a spa product.
