The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
The King James Version says “I shall not want.” Why would you not want The Lord? Especially after everything we’ve read so far. Of course, thinking about it that way would be taking it out of context, which is never good. The writers of that translation were clearly talking about not wanting or needing for anything else. Same sort of meaning.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
David is definitely having a good day.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Anything God does for His Name’s sake is going to work out fine in the ned.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
God is with us when we can’t see Him.
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
Discipline from the Lord is not the same as human discipline and is not a bad thing.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
God has us provided for.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Even more than we need.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Let’s do it.
