PSALM 11.5
by Patrick T. Reardon
The LORD is mine.
I shall not want.
He maketh me.
He leadeth me.
He restoreth me.
He leadeth me.
Yea, though I walk,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with
thy rod and thy staff.
Thou preparest.
Thou anointest.
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness
and I will dwell.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Is there a poem, maybe half-good, in half a great psalm?
