Much of the day today I felt tired and a little sad. I cried several times. But I felt better in the late afternoon after driving to the Ice Park mall and walking around there for about 40 minutes.
This morning, I decided to study the 23rd Psalm a bit more closely, in the original Hebrew. I typed a version with partial nikkud (vowel pointing) into my computer, and then I did my own English translation. Here it is:
A Psalm of David
The Eternal is my shepherd, I will lack nothing.
Onto green grass He will urge me.
Upon restful water He will guide me.
My soul He will return.
He will lead me in the cycles of justice
For His name’s sake.
Even when I will walk
In the gorge of the death-shadow,
I will fear no evil,
For You are with me.
Your rod and Your support
Will comfort me.
You will prepare a feast for me
Against my troubles.
You anointed my head with oil.
My cup was full.
Only goodness and kindness
Will pursue me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Eternal
For days unnumbered.
