Today's Psalm 23

The Lord is my protector
The shield of my life
In tormented times he keeps me safe
In today's turbulence he holds me fast
To give me courage
Not to fail him

Through the minefields he leads me
To praise his name
In the midst of darkness
He shines his light on me
To keep me on the right path
Where I will grow in strength

From starvation he keeps me free
Untouched by hostile forces
Confident in his embrace
So that I stride ahead strongly

Wrapped in the comfort he provides
My days look ever brighter
He is my refuge and my shelter
During my days upon this earth.

This is another example of different than I expected for the contest. "The Lord is my protector The shield of my life" I agree with this message. Congrats on your win.
