THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Psalm 23 (A psalm by David.) The Good Shepherd  1You, LORD, are my shepherd.    I will never be in need.     2You let me rest in fields    of green grass.    You lead me to streams    of peaceful water,     3and you refresh my life.    You are true to your name,    and you lead me    along the right paths.     4I may walk through valleys    as dark as death,    but I won't be afraid.    You are with me,    and your shepherd's rod [a] makes me feel safe.     5You treat me to a feast,    while my enemies watch.    You honor me as your guest,    and you fill my cup    until it overflows.     6Your kindness and love    will always be with me    each day of my life,    and I will live forever    in your house, LORD   God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.    You have bedded me down in lush meadows,       you find me quiet pools to drink from.    True to your word,       you let me catch my breath       and send me in the right direction.  4 Even when the way goes through       Death Valley,    I'm not afraid       when you walk at my side.    Your trusty shepherd's crook       makes me feel secure.  5 You serve me a six-course dinner       right in front of my enemies.    You revive my drooping head;       my cup brims with blessing.  6 Your beauty and love chase after me       every day of my life.    I'm back home in the house of God       for the rest of my life   Mdp khjk; 20k; jpfjp tpRthr jpd jpahdk; flTspd; fsQ;rpaj;jpypUe;J jpdKk; ngWk; thf;FWjpfs; rp.vr;.];gH[d;   Mz;ltNu ek; Njhod;         ehd; kuz,Uspd; gs;sj;jhf;fpNy ele;jhYk; nghy;yhg;Gf;Fg; gag;gNld;.
