On Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd...
              That is Faith
I shall not want...
              That is Assurance
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures...
              That is Contentment
He leadeth me beside the still waters...
              That is Peace
He restoreth my soul...
              That is Life
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake....
              That is Divine Guidance
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...
              That is Confidence
I will fear no evil...
              That is Courage
For thou art with me
              That is Companionship
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me...
              That is Comfort
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
              That is Providence
Thou anointest my head with oil...
              That is Favour
My cup runneth over...
              That is Happiness
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life...
              That is Blessing
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever...
              That is Immortality
