One example of meaning is given to Psalm 23 : ¤The Lord is my Shepherd -- That involves a one-on-one relationship, as an individual -- not just a number in a flock! ¤I shall not want -- Thats the source for your needs: your Shepherd supplies the way, truth and the life! ¤He maketh me to lie down in green pastures -- Thats splendid contentment -- plenty of rest! ¤He leadeth me beside the still waters -- Thats cool, peaceful refreshment! ¤He restoreth my soul -- Thats provision for revitalization and healing! ¤He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness -- Thats leadership and guidance in following Gods will! ¤For His name sake -- That gives a higher purpose for life! ¤Truly, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death -- Thats about testing in the darkest valley, even through death! ¤I will fear no evil -- Thats knowing you are protected even at your lowest hour! ¤For Thou art with me -- Thats the constant faithfulness of The Shepherd! ¤Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me -- Thats Gods protection against the enemies! ¤Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies -- Thats assurance of support and hope in danger! ¤Thou annointest my head with oil -- Thats care, dedication and consecration! ¤My cup runneth over -- Thats His abundance flowing to you and out to others! ¤Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life -- Thats the blessing and power of grace, through faith remembering God is Love, not just words! ¤And I will dwell in the house of the Lord -- Thats home and security in the Lords provision! ¤Forever. -- Thats now and always -- eternity!
