23rd Psalm not only for funerals (LINK)
March 28th 2008 23:56
The 23rd Psalm My Shepherd is the Lord is not only for funerals but it can unleash a power in your daily life too.
This Amplified Version adds more shades of meaning directly from Hebrew
The 23rd Psalm reveals and releases God's unconditional Love. The oil revives us in daily stressful times. The Holy Spirit brings new discernment over the decisions to be made everyday. All that is "black" is bound and the Spirit is there to heal and provide us with positive enlightment.
The Author of God's Psychiatry prescribes three deep readings a day for a mental and spiritual tune up. Try it yourself and see what happens.
A Psalm of David - Psalm 23 - Amplified version
The Lord is my shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me]; I shall not lack.
2. He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. [Rev. 7:17]*
3. He refreshes and restores my life - my self; He leads me in the paths of righteousness - uprightness and right standing with Him - [not for my earning it, but] for his name's sake.
4. Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil; for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [ to guide], they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table for me in the presence fo my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my[brimming] cup runs over.
6. Surely only goodness, mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life; and through the lenght of days the house of the Lord [ and His presence ] shall be my dwelling place.
* ref Revelation 7 --- 17 For the Lamb Who is in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to the springs of waters of Life; and God will wipe every tear away from their eyes. [ Ezek. 34:23; PS 23:2 Is.
(Side Note: We found using a staff for long walks, speeds up the process easily with less problems of slipping - even in winter. - The staff we use does not have the hook on it. Shepherds have the hook to fetch sheep that were caught in holes etc. - The Lord is our Shepherd who does the same for us when we seem lost. )
