  • Words from one who knows life

    I hope these words mean as much to you as they do to me .


    "The Lord is my shepherd;

    I shall not want.

    He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

    He leads me beside the still waters.

    He restores my soul;

    He leads me in the paths of righteousness

    For His name’s sake.

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

    I will 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 anoint my head with oil;

    My cup runs over.

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

    All the days of my life;

    And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

    Against You, You only, have I sinned,

    And done this evil in Your sight—

    That You may be found just when You speak,

    And blameless when You judge.

    O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

    You know my sitting down and my rising up;

    You understand my thought afar off.

    You comprehend my path and my lying down,

    And are acquainted with all my ways.

    For there is not a word on my tongue,

    But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

    You have hedged me behind and before,

    And laid Your hand upon me.

    Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

    It is high, I cannot attain it."

    Psalm 23; 51:4; 139:1-6
