The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth 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 thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. ~Psalm 23
We watched "The Book of Eli" last night for the second time and again the force of Psalm 23 struck me. These words are poetic and a profound sincerity of faith. I intend to commit them to memory because it is difficult sometimes in our society to remember that all we need is in the LORD and his WORD. "I shall not want".
I also found a wonderful website devoted to Psalm 23 that gives additional commentaries and hymns.
