Walk in the Woods

Abstract: Psalm 23

My interpretation of Psalm 23.

The Lord is my Lord,

What do I need?

I rest, even when my bed is a rock,

and my meals are eaten in peace.

He’s restored me over and over and over, and over again,

And more than this,

He set me among the saints, because He could.

Even though, I walk down dark alleys and dead-end streets,

He is always at my side.

I don’t fear what other people can do to me,

His hugs and rebukes soothe my spirit.

And while we eat, the world watches.

You choose me, marked me, and I can’t count the blessings.

Love and kindness will be the scent of my life,

because I love and run with You.

His Hands and Words guide my steps.
In the middle of my calamity, He says “let’s eat.”
He gives me tips on my hair and refills my beer.

“The Lord is my homie.

I don’t need anything.

He supplies all my needs, and sneaks me that good drink.

Yay, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of death, I say f*ck that evil.

Because Jesus the “Destroyer of Bullshit” is with me!

His Hands and Words guide my steps.

In the middle of my calamity, He says “let’s eat.”

He gives me tips on my hair and refills my beer.

I have no other choice but to sit under His grace and let his presence soak me to the bone.

This moment is just a thing.

But I…I will keep my eyes on Him.”
