Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul;

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

For His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the

presence of my enemies;

You have anointed my head with oil;

My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness

will follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the

Lord forever.

I have never study Psalms in great depth. One of my dear friends from the States explained in great length to me about Psalm 23 a few months back. Just yesterday, I read a book written by Phillip Keller - A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23. I grasp the meaning of Psalm 23 verse by verse. It has never occur to me why would Jesus will equate us as a sheep. A sheep needs meticulous attention from its shepherd. It is how much attention we need from God Himself in order not to have a wayward life. I'm starting to like reading the book of Psalms. Grab hold of the book and have an in depth study of Psalm 23 yourself...
