"Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!"

My final blog of last week was a downer, so thought we'd finish this time on an up note. Here's the latest in our weekly series of encouraging passages from the Psalms. This week's selections are from Psalms 21-33 (TLB):

    Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! ... He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.... Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home. From Psalm 23

    Show me the path where I should go, O Lord; point out the right road for me to walk. Lead me; teach me; for you are the God who gives me salvation. I have no hope except in you.... The Lord is good and glad to teach the proper path to all who go astray; he will teach the ways that are right and best to those who humbly turn to him. And when we obey him, every path he guides us on is fragrant with his loving-kindness and his truth. From Psalm 25

    The Lord is my light and my salvation; he protects me from danger—whom shall I fear? ... Don’t be impatient. Wait for the Lord, and he will come and save you! Be brave, stouthearted, and courageous. Yes, wait and he will help you. From Psalm 27

    Let your favor shine again upon your servant; save me just because you are so kind! ... Oh, how great is your goodness to those who publicly declare that you will rescue them. For you have stored up great blessings for those who trust and reverence you.... So cheer up! Take courage if you are depending on the Lord. From Psalm 31

    Let all the joys of the godly well up in praise to the Lord, for it is right to praise him.... For all God’s words are right, and everything he does is worthy of our trust. He loves whatever is just and good; the earth is filled with his tender love.... No wonder we are happy in the Lord! For we are trusting him. We trust his holy name. Yes, Lord, let your constant love surround us, for our hopes are in you alone. From Psalm 33
