Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
=The Lord is our provider and in him we lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
=God is helping us in our problem.

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
=God is taking care of our daily needs.

4 Even 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.
=God will not leave nor forsake us.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
=God promised us victory if we stay with him.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
=God will bless and take care of us.
