The Lord's my shepherd

The LORD's my shepherd
God Almighty, the Creator, He who holds the universe in His hand, the King of Kings, the Lion of Judah, the Lord of armies, the great I AM, is my protector, my guard, my carer, my leader.

I shall not be in want
He knows what I need and what is good for me. He allows me to flourish. In Him I am satisfied.

He leads me beside quiet waters
He brings me rest, refreshment, serenity. He stills my anxieties.

He restores my soul
He brings renewal. I draw strength from His presence, from His nearness. I am made whole in Him.

He guides me in paths of righteousness
He has a path mapped out for me. He walks beside me and shows me the way.

For his name's sake
The way he cares for me shows his true nature - his justice and his mercy. It brings glory and honour to Him.
