The Lord is...


Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd, (overseer)
I shall not want. (provider)
He makes me lie down in green pastures; (sympathizer)
He leads me beside quiet waters. (encourager)
He restores my soul: (calm assurance giver)
He guides me in the paths of righteousness (holy leader)
For His name's sake. (one who regards reputation)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (conqueror, comforter)
I fear no evil, for You are with me; (mighty protector)
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. (disciplinarian)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; (righteous judge, sustainer)
You have anointed my head with oil; (elector, sanctifier)
My cup overflows.  (generous giver)

Surely goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all the days of my life, (true and faithful lover)
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (eternal life giver)

The LORD is... my Shepherd.
