Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

 ¹ The LORD is my shepherd;
         I shall not want.
 ² He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
         He leads me beside the still waters.
 ³ He restores my soul;
         He leads me in the paths of righteousness
         For His name’s sake.
        
 ⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
         I will fear no evil;
         For You are with me;
         Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
        
 ⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
         You anoint my head with oil;
         My cup runs over.
 ⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
         All the days of my life;
         And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
         Forever.

I didn't truly read the bible until 2008, but I knew this beautiful psalm in song form.  It has always been a source of joy and peace for me.  I am currently feasting on these verses.  Saving them with my mind and hiding them within my heart.  I believe these words and I love that we have a Father who promises that His goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives.
