詩歌:
A good shepherd will know the places
where the rushing river waters wait for a moment,
where they curl gently in shallow pools and the flock can drink in safety.
God knows that people need food to eat and water to drink.
God will provide for them.
Lead me to safe places where the good things I need are mine to enjoy.
Those who love God will know that God is with them always.
They will feel at home in God’s presence.
They will be at home with God for ever.
Among the psalms are many that David may have written himself.
Here is the most famous psalm of all:
a psalm written by someone who knows what it is to be a shepherd;
who knows what it is to be in danger;
who knows that those who trust in God will enjoy God's richest blessings.
