Psalm 23 (modern version) A Psalm of David.

 

The Lord cares for me, I shall never be in need.

He creates a green environment for relaxation, he steers me to the still waters to drink.

He renovates my soul: leads me through the path of right thought dug in his reputation.

Yes, for you I'll walk proudly, even to death, as evil will shun me, for you are close too.

Your provision from terror – supports me, when I would alone have failed.

 

You make up a table for me in front of my enemies; you clearly define me, so I can always be found;

I'm so filled with love Lord I'll sing your praises loud!

You send me Goodness and Mercy to back me all the days of my life:

so that I have some prior knowledge of the good days to come.

No matter how dented or demented I become.

So when I will live with you close too forever and ever. It will be - Amen.

Thank you Philip, I did this one last year for a competition.  I was way too late to enter.

You show your experience of His shepherding support and guidance and presence, honest about need and weakness. Good to read it. Rhiannon

I'm still not sure I have it all absolutely right.  I added the demented this morning when I put it on.  Have you read my kindle book about the church in Dereham, Norfolk yet?  EL James recommended it.  & it's doing good on amazon.
