• My Shepherd is the only one who can fully restore the inner person, my soul.
• My Shepherd desires my practical holiness and will do whatever it takes to lead me there for the sake of His Name.
• My Shepherd never leaves my side and will never forsake me.
• My Shepherd provides for my safety; therefore, I have no legitimate cause for fear.
• My Shepherd’s rod of discipline and staff of protection both bring me comfort.
• My Shepherd abundantly lavishes His grace upon me when the wolves attack.
