Psalms 23

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie on green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteouness
For His name's sake.
Even though I walk through
The valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
For you are with me;
For you rod and your staff,
They comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
In the presence of my enemies.
You annoint my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
All the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

I dunno how to bring out the meaning of this in my prose. Help! And i'm still wondering; am I actually supposed to pursue writing? maybe not.. well, i'm just taking whatever oppurtunities I have. "No matter what the outcome may be, success of failure, it is still a good learning oppurtunity. Your essay about yourself was chosen, remember?" Well, that was helpful.

Psalms 55: 16-23

But I call to God,
And the Lord saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
And he hears my voice.
He ransoms me unharmed (man, he RANSOMS us. there's a price involved! now isn't that powerful?)
From the battle waged against me,
Even though many oppose me.
God, who is enthroned forever,
Will hear them and afflict them--
Men who never change their ways
And have no fear of the God.

My companion attacks his friends;
He violates his covenant.
His speech is smooth as butter,
Yet war is in his heart;
His words are more soothing than oil,
yet they are drawn swords.

Cast your cares on the Lord
And He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous fall.
But you, O God, will bring down the wicked
Into the pit of corruption;
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men
Will not live out half their days.

But as for me, I will trust in you.

oh well... so many psalms today. btw kylie, can I reveal personality and intelligence later in the story. Can I reveal it in a more subtle way?
