The Lord is my Sheperd

1 The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd.
I always have more than enough.
2 He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love.
His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss.
3 That’s where he restores and revives my life.
He opens before me pathways to God’s pleasure
and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness
so that I can bring honor to his name.
4 Lord, even when your path takes me through
the valley of deepest darkness,
fear will never conquer me, for you already have!
You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way.
Your authority is my strength and my peace.
The comfort of your love takes away my fear.
I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.
5 You become my delicious feast
even when my enemies dare to fight.
You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit;
you give me all I can drink of you until my heart overflows.
6 So why would I fear the future?
For your goodness and love pursue me all the days of my life.
Then afterward, when my life is through,
I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you!
I love this psalm so much, it speaks about the provision of God, about the protection of God, it speaks about the loving care of God and that He will never leave us nor forsake us even when we go through hard times. I encourage you to meditate upon this psalm, it is very rich.
I can only say that this words are true, I experience it alot. But the most amazing thing is that God, our Sheperd, sacrificed His beloved lamb for us, so that we can become His beloved children. His beloved lamb is Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that He is the Son of God and repent of your sins, and make Him your Lord, you will be saved.

I love how this Psalm sounds in the Passion Translation! It's so much intimate and personal!

Yes it is. All of the psalms sound different in TPT :)
