This chapter of the Psalms is one of the most popular among the chapters in the Bible. Psalm 23 talks about a our good shepherd Jesus Christ, who will never leave us even in the midst of our suffering and pain on this life. This Psalm can put a smile to the discouraged, uplift those people who feel depressed and can secure those who are afraid of walking through the road of life. As the Psalm says. "though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil". Moreover, at the beginning of the Psalm is the beautiful passage expressing contentment, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" God will never leave us, if all we have is God, we have all we need.
Psalms Chapter 23
Verses:
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still
waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (KJV)
