The 23rd Psalm - not exactly short

The LORD Is My Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
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. Rev. 7.17
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. from the Holy Bible I found the psalm on site:  http://bartleby.com/108/19/23.html

A most beautiful Psalm of David

“As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I AWAKE, with Your likeness.”

(Psa. 17:15) Holy Bible


I noticed this beautiful psalm when I was reading on page:

The Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus
tried to teach us

forgiveness
truthfulness

not to worry 
not to be greedy
to be trustworthy

in dealing with people
And to greet people

That means everybody
not just friends and family 

to have compassion
not place high importance
on all your possessions

to bear fruit of
faith joy love
patience goodness
kindness gentleness
and righteousness

to give
good gifts

how to pray
live for today

to hate sin
that comes from within
greed, malice, deceit,
adultery, envy, folly 


In Jesus own words
He tells us to live by his words

There is no denying
he is still trying



Jesus said:
"For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these things come from inside and make a man unclean’."  


None of us could honestly claim to bring such fruit by our own effort. Elsewhere in the Bible we are instructed that this fruit consists of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control.

I wrote this poem with the help of this website:
