Psalms 21


Reflect on Psalms 21:1-3 and its connection to the main story.


The Lord is my shepherd.
    I will always have everything I need.
He gives me green pastures to lie in.
    He leads me by calm pools of water.
He restores my strength.
    He leads me on right paths to show that he is good.
