Psalm Twenty-Three
I was reading Psalm 23 in the Hebrew, and as I began to dig into some of the words, I was amazed at what I found. I’m still not sure on some of the phrases (“my owl is full?”). But I am convinced that this Psalm has a lot more to say to my life right now than most of its English counterparts. Be blessed:
Psalm 23 – A Psalm for David.
The LORD is my shepherd; I am never lacking anything.
He causes me to lie down in green spaces; he brings me upon a place of quiet waters.
He brings back my soul. He guides me in tracks of justice, for the sake of his name.
Even as I walk into the valley of the death-shadow, I will not fear evil, because you are with me.
Your family and your (holistic) support they comfort me.
You arrange in the presence of my enemies a Table; you have anointed my head in oil, my cup is saturated. (or…my owl is full?)
Only a good and loving loyalty will pursue me all the days of my life.
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever and ever.
