Your understanding of this verse is quite correct. The whole Psalm by David is a recollection of his earlier life as a shepherd when he once cared rigorously for his sheep, but now he sees himself as that sheep being cared for by his Great Shepherd.

So, I see verse 5 as a probable continuation of verse 4: when by even walking through those valleys in life that give him no light, no joy, a sense of despair & hopelessness, with even the fear of death pervading in its shadows, the Lord, his Shepherd, had not left him. Even if his enemies surrounded him or entrapped him in that valley of hopelessness & fear, God would still provide bountifully for him in every way (in such abundance, that he likened this to a feast at a celebration, where the table was full of food, he would be anointed or refreshed, as a special guest in those days would be, & there would be no shortage in food or drink). Such was David's God & his utter reliance upon Him to sustain him & deliver him, no matter the circumstance.

And to think, that David's God is our God as well & God hasn't changed or diminished in His Love. And even more so, we as His blood-bought children, made heirs of His Kingdom, enjoying the fruits of our salvation & all that Heaven provides us, both now & into eternity.

Sacha,

"about your own faith and salvation" "how you feel about God"

Your own faith is what you trust to be true. Salvation is a plan that God has revealed in his word.

Sometimes people use the word feel in place of understand. In talking to other people it is always easier if you are explaining what you understand. How about you telling me what you understand to be the way God saves people. Of course you "don't have to", but Jesus has explained that "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house." If what you have is of God, he wants you to shine, and not be uncomfortable or unable to talk about it.

Hi Arielle, That's a good question, However the sabbath day is a Saturday. So if Jesus was crucified on the day before the " weekly "sabbath, that would put his crucifixion on a Friday with Saturday/the weekly sabbath coming up at 6;01pm. because their days are 6 pm to 6pm as ours is 12am to 12am. so his resurrection would have had to be around Tuesday.

But it is believed to have been 2 sabbath that week, There is also a yearly sabbath comes around every 7 years that may have came around Thursday pryor placing his burial late Wednesday ( before 6pm) and his resurrection Sunday (after 6pm) preceding Saturday. Here's the yearly sabbath. What is an annual Sabbath?

The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: , literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shvi'it (, literally "seventh"), is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Bet HaMikdash in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.

Note: My calculations may be flawed. I hope that helps. Maybe someone can help us both.

THIS is BEAUTIFUL! I'm copying it! Might I, please, share it if I cite you as the author? It's too wonderful to hide under a bushel or under a bed. ;)

I just want a bit of insight regarding Psalms 23: 5---the table part. ("Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"). I assume that it means that God even "feeds us" when there is danger about? BUT...I'm not sure.

Thank you!

Angela Ford,

"I want to read a book on healing..."

Because you are here on the KJV site, I'll assume you want to understand the subject from a biblical perspective. In which case there is no one book of the Bible with a focus on that topic, however, you can use the search feature at the top of the page to enter words such as heal, sick, illness, and the like, to find every passage in the Bible to see what is said there. I hope that helps.

What does Isaiah 22:20-30 means in laymen terms

I have to be honest ,i dont give money to beggars if i suspect it will be spent on drugs ,this is because i worry that the moneyi give them may buy the drugs that kill them ,i have helped people find accomodation and bought food ,clothes etc but you get to know your local beggars and you dont need to be a genius to know the signs of drug abuse ,im happy to help but not to maybe help kill some one .

Of course ! Dont hesitate to help another person , Matthew 25 v 31to 46 ,may God bless you abundantly so that you can show others His love by helping them when you are able to do so .

I want to read a book on healing.....

Its not always easy to put into words how you feel about God ,Jesus and the Truth about your own faith and salvation ,some people find it easier than others ,for me its a very personal thing ,often people ,usually atheists ,ask me about it in a very challenging or confrontational way and they dont get one word out of me ,i can tell they interprit my silence as some sort of victory for themselves ,even among other believers i prefer to keep my chat light ,my faith has been a long time developing and is most precious to me ,i dont feel the need to explain it or justify it im just very very thankfull that God has allowed me a measure of understanding and He has allowed me to know that i am never and have never been without Him .

Hi Paul,

I think it's misleading when we think of God as having a presence like us. In those verses you place Jesus sitting beside God and there you have the son sitting beside the Father. But I don't think that's what those verses is saying. Here's an example.

Psalms 16:8.I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Now do you vision God sitting down beside David ? are is David referring to him as the power in which he shall not be moved?

Here's another example of him being the power.

Luke 22:69. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

The right hand/power is an attribute in which he performs within the God head. Here's some examples.

Exodus 15:6. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Isaiah 41:10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Romans 8:34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Isaiah 48:13. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

This is just a few of many verses in which you see

He makes intercession from his right hand.

He makes us righteousness from his right hand.

His power is his right hand.

He judges from the right hand.

And as Isaiah 48:13 says along with the volume of the book

He created the world with his right hand.

So those verses proves He's God!! That why in Revelation 1:8 he's called the Almighty!!

Revelation 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Just to correct I wrote "chapter 23" meaning "verse 23". Oops.

Hello Clara,

I am only thinking your question was to me but as it was a reply to Shane's post. I hope I am not stepping on your toes Shane and of coarse please reply if you'd like.

What I take of Romans 3:10-12 is Paul stating that everyone is under sin. Going further into chapter 3 as he states things like "their feet are swift to shed blood" "destruction and misery are their ways" "the way of peace have they not known" etc. Seeming as he's talking of people that are pretty deep into a sinful life as "there is no fear of God before their eyes".

Then getting to verse 21 he begins to speak of the righteousness of God and the redemption in Christ Jesus.

I guess I would just say keep reading the chapter and how it pans into the Lord. Chapter 23 again stating "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". As we have nothing to fear because He sent Jesus Christ for us.

Romans is a great Book by Paul. I hope my post has helped some. God Bless you.

Since he was God's son he most likely knew all his life.

Hello Annetta,

I totally agree with you on the word "debt" or "debtors" used in the our Fathers prayer. Making you kind of think it's of monetary matters. As when I pray to our Fathers I state "Forgive us of all our sins, trespasses, and iniquities". As my heart, and the Holy Spirit, have lead me to say this instead of just "debts" as is written.

The thing is that the KJV Bible from 1611 originally had the words "debt" and "debtors" in the prayer. Link The Greek word is "opeheilema" with the Strongs definition of "something owed that is (figuratively) a due .; morally a fault".

Then right after the prayer in Matthew 6:14-15 it states about forgiving others their "trespasses". The word for "trespasses" is another Greek word "paraptoma" with the Strongs definition "a side slip (lapse or deviation) that is (unintentional) error or (wilful) transgression". Also to be known as a sin or misdeed. The other Greek word can also be taken as sin or offense.

I agree with you about how using the word "debt" in the prayer doesn't really feel right. Although that was the original word used from the year 1611 in the KJV Bible.

Hope that helps clear up that the KJV Bible has not been changed. God Bless.

Hi Kee, Do you care to share with us a little bit about yourself and what you have heard about the Lord Jesus?

thank you for your kindness, I still fighting for hope and improve myself everyday.

God gave me the wisdom to understanding about if someone says something to you wrong i have learned that i need to be slow to anger cause wisdom is a gift from God

Hello, I have been looking for a bible verse to inscribe on my hushand birthday gift, but honestly I am new to TRULY believing. I was born in Quebec/Canada, the french part, and I still have difficulty with my english speaking.

So, since I can't work I do some Art, and I started working leather. He hate putting something with his main car key but he often have difficulty to find it. So I though tabout making him something small, where I could insert a mini natural oil mix bottle for his sinus.

I am not sur what to inscribe on. I was thinking something along the line of health or something about communication. So here are some of my idea:

Hatred stirs up strife,

But love covers all sins

Proverbs 10:12

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed;

Saved me, and I shall be saved,

For You are my praise.

Jeremiah 17:14

For His anger is but for a moment,

His favors is for life;

Weeping may endure for a night,

But joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5

Be of courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart,

All you who hope in the LORD.

Psalm 31:24

Fear not, for I am with you;

Be not dismayed, for I am your GOD.

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with MY righteneous right hand.

Isaiah 41:I0

Cast your burden on the LORD

And He shall sustain you;

He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22

That's what I have come to right now. I would be delighted if anyone have a better suggestion, on has any comments or idea on which would be the best.

thank you very much

GOD be with you all.

Hi Kee, You have reached a Great site for help and questions,

At what age did Jesus discover he was the son of g-d?

Is Phillip and Nathaniel the same apostle?

Why do we celebrate the resurrection on a Sunday, when Monday would have been the third day?

Why is the Sabbath day a Sunday , when the seventh day of the week is Saturday?

I am trying to understand why the change in the timeline.

The LORD is My FATHER I shall not want. - Psalms 23:1. Peace. Namaste.

God honors a cheerful giver. Tithing isn't really spoken of in the New Testaments. In the Old Testaments God asked His people to tithe a tenth which was an act of obedience, which went to help the poorer peoples of The LORD. So with that in mind, I would ask Father to bless the money n the one in need n I'm sure He will honor your request n bless you in return.
