The Lord is my programmer, I shall not crash. He installed His software on the hard disk of my heart; all of His commands are user-friendly.
His directory guides me to the right choices for His name's sake. Even though I scroll through the problems of life, I will fear no bugs, for He is my backup.
His password protects me. He prepares a menu before me in the presence of my enemies. His help is only a keystroke away.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and my file will be merged with His and saved forever!
Perfect translation. This captures the intention without changing it a dot or a tittle. Paul traveled extensively during his ministry. When he spoke the language of the country into which he went , it wasn't his intention to change the message that he carried . IT WAS THAT HIS MESSAGE WOULD BE UNDERSTOOD BY THOSE HE TOOK IT TO> When i was a child i thought as a child and to me the Psalm gave the wrong message right off the bat. The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not want. As i grew into an understanding , i understood the intention was that i would have no wants that were not attended to . This is a good way to speak to a drastically changed society . The Lord never changes , but we all need to be able to identify the intention of the words we are to live by.
