Psalm 23 Interpreted

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even 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 overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

The Lord is my Creator, I am perfectly designed.
He fills my endless hunger and gives me all that I need to thrive.
He restores my innocence.
He guides my journey of wholesomeness, for his own joy.

Even when I am lost and scared, I know I am not alone.
You are always with me, protecting me from great evil.
Your power and steadfast love reassure me.

You prepared my earthly home, to the surprise of the cynical.
Your Holy Spirit lives in my soul and blesses me with the truth.

May my remaining days be filled with your joy and compassion
until my eternity is absorbed in the light of your pure love.
