The Lord  is my shepherd; I shall not be in lack. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; a place of security, and plenty. He leads me beside the still waters. Where there the calmness of the waters like a mirror reflects peace and his bountiful love for me.  He restores my soul; My intellect, my emotions and my will are realigned to conformed to his original intent, that like him I have insight and creative ability.  He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake. He directs me to behave in ways that causes others to glorify him.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death, I will fear no evil; There may be darkness, situations,and circumstances that are designed to kill my spirit, take away my peace, my joy and my ambition to live a goodly life however my faith will not fail me. For you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. we are "achad" you are ever present in my life, I live in agreement with your word, my mind is stayed on you.  You know me from all the others in your charge. you've counted me as yours, when I veer away you reach out to bring me back. knowing this I am at ease. you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; In plain sight of those nay Sayers, discouragers,and evil wishers you cause me to prosper as they watch helpless to prevent it.  You anoint my head with oil.  You bless me so abundantly that it runs over and those around me are blessed from that overflow.  Surely goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  I have confidence that where ever I go his goodness and his undeserved favor, and  his forgiveness will be a covering for me like the shirt on my back. I will ever, through out all eternity, be a resident family member in my father's home.
