Bible Verse to Lift You Up 2/8/25

VKB · February 8

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

Psalm 23 Amplified Bible

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],

I shall not want.

2

He lets me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.

3

He refreshes and restores my soul (life);

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

for His name’s sake.

4

Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You have anointed and refreshed my head with ]oil;

My cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.

My Shepherd, I praise You for Your unfailing love. Help me to remember You are always with me. You are my comfort, guide and safety, making sure I have everything I need today. Help me think faith-in-You-thoughts so I am not afraid. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this, it's a most beautiful version of the 23rd Psalm. I memorized the King James Version about 75 years ago and still repeat it in my head when I wake up in the night, and other times as well. It has always been comforting but especially during the challenges of 24/7 caregiving.
