This version of Psalms 23 keeps coming back to me. I have had this passage memorized since I was in first grade (King James version), but I love this interpretation and these descriptive words. Every time I read this a new part screams for my attention. Amazing how the word of the Lord is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword, and pierces hearts and minds since the time it was first written.
Psalms 23:
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.
HE has taken care of me and I know that I will never have a need unfulfilled. It's nice to know that my worries are pointless.
