UNFAILING LOVE



THE LORD is my Shepherd
[to feed, guide, and shield me],
I shall not lack.
He makes me lie down
in [fresh, tender] green pastures;

He leads me beside the still
and restful waters. [Rev. 7:17.]

He refreshes and restores my life
(my self); "behold all things are new!"

He leads me in the paths of righteousness
 [uprightness and right standing with Him–
not for my earning it, but] 
for His name's sake.

Yes, though I walk through the
[deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear or dread no evil,
for You are with me;

Your rod [to protect] and Your staff
[to guide], they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies

You anoint my head with oil;
my [brimming] cup runs over.

Surely or only goodness, mercy,
and unfailing love shall follow me 
all the days of my life,
and through the length of my days 
the house of the Lord [and His presence] 
shall be my dwelling place.

(‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭1-6‬ AMP)
