Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.                         HE IS OUR PROVIDER!
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.                                                                      HE IS OUR STRENGTH!
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake                                                                          HE IS OUR GUIDE!
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil
 for you are with me;                                                                      HE IS OUR PROTECTOR!
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.                                                                             HE IS OUR COMFORTER!
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.                                                                           HE IS OUR SUSTAINER!
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.                                                                                               HE IS OUR HOPE!


And so we praise him!

  1. I love the way you explained each part of it out in the margin. It really breathes new life into this passage of scripture. It's so familiar that I think we sometimes we kinda miss the all that it's saying to us.

    Thanks for that!

  2. You know those passages of scripture we've repeated from childhood when we really didn't have a worry or a care?! This passage has new meaning to me. He is EVERYTHING I need! It was a pleasure to share Ron. God bless!
