The Shepherd

Being a shepherd is not that high-tech. No need for super skills or equipment, a rod to protect the sheep from danger and a staff to lead them are enough. But one needs a lot of love to really care for the flock and provide them with their daily needs. One can be good or bad in shepherding. We have a Good Shepherd. We are thankful.

¹ The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
²     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
