Psalm 23

Provision

The Lord is my shepherd;
 I have everything I need.

Refreshment
 He lets me rest in fields of green grass
 and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water. 

 He gives me new strength.

Guidance

He guides me in the right paths,
 as he has promised.

Confidence

Even if I go through the deepest darkness,
 I will not be afraid, Lord,
 for you are with me.
Your shepherd’s club and crook protect me.

Protection

You prepare a meal for me,
 while my enemies look on;

Recognition

you anoint my head with oil;

Blessing
my cup is filled to overflowing.

Friendship

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all my life;

Family

and I will be at home in God’s house for ever.
