The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
This best-known, best-loved of all psalms pictures God, the Good Shepherd. He provides all that his people need. He leads them through life. He secures them from all harm. Verse 5 introduces a second picture: God, the perfect host, feasting his people with good things. And it goes further: because 'in the Old Testament world, to eat and drink at someone's table created a bond of loyalty' the picture is not simply of a guest but of a friend.
Why?
I do not fear and worry about anything in my life for God is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Even God's staff and rod are comforting me, let me walk in the right way.
God will protect me before my enemy and refresh my soul, God's grace is full in my way and in my life.

在那些方面不缺乏呢? 神的供應有四個方面
1. 青草地對於牧羊人很重要。生活中基本需要
2. 屬靈生命不缺乏。神創造我們有更高的層次，永遠的生命，走義路，保護榮耀主名。不是一般只求自己心靈平安。
3. 保護的不缺乏。惡者要把走義路的人離開。被誤會、事業、學業、挫折等。神給我們力量，輕鬆面對危險，超越這些危險。走義路，不是平淡無奇，而是精彩，變化多，如危險道路，是吸引人的探險之旅。
4. 盼望的不缺乏。一生一世，雖然還沒有走完，但是我們知道我們可以平安走過。一直與神同在，盼望那天上的家鄉。
讓神成為我們的牧者。什麼都不缺乏，且有盼望！
