Psalm 23 –
“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want”
I shall not want rest.
“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.”
I shall not want refreshment.
“He leadeth me beside the still waters.”
I shall not want forgiveness.
“He restoreth my soul.”
I shall not want guidance.
“He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, for His name’s sake.”
I shall not want companionship.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.”
I shall not want comfort.
“Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.”
I shall not want food.
“Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies.”
I shall not want joy.
“Thou anointest my head with oil.”
I shall not want anything.
“My cup runneth over.”
I shall not want anything in this life.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”
I shall not want anything in eternity.
“And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
