I’m coming over from Bonnie’s.
Favorite Psalms, yes, rewrite? No! I’d like to, what a good idea. Love love love how you’ve done Psalm 23 and am soaking in it today.
Psalm 1, 8, 15, 19, 24, and that’s just in the first 30! What about 121, 139, and the Beth portion of 119? I can’t answer your question fully, I guess. But that gives me an idea for a future project. I had a suggestion once to read 5 a day, on the day: 1, 31, 61, 91, 121 on the first of the month and so on. For months with 31 days, that’s when you read 119! Maybe a good month project for my blog when I can write on it again?
I’m so glad you’re here, and writing, Lisa!

I’m about to start a second pass through the Psalms and writing a Psalm in my own words will be a good way to work out why the poem moves me.

Psalm 23 is a bit over-familiar over here I’m afraid. I think it’s been turned into a rather dreary hymn. So it was nice to read your fresh version! 😀

Favourites? Too many.

I seem to frequently find myself in places where God’s protection is needed as well as His sustaining grace. This psalm, more than any other, has encouraged me to press on!

I guess I tend to think I can’t improve on or express it any better than what it says, but need to remind myself it’s not about “improving on”it — it’s about thinking through and applying Scripture. I love how you’ve done so with this one.

Sometimes familiarity does breed contempt, and reading it in a new translation or writing it in our own words helps us to see these beautiful truths in a fresh way.

Yes, I find myself putting it into my own words as I pray it back to the Lord — his “benefits” are so numerous!
Love this post, and also the one with your reading list.

I just need to stay close to Him and stay tender to His leadings and voice. He would never lead me astray.
