His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

A Psalm for ^(A)giving thanks.

²³ And ^(A)I will set up over them one shepherd, ^(B)my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. ²⁴ And ^(C)I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. ^(D)I am the Lord; I have spoken.

The Lord's Covenant of Peace

^25 (E)“I will make with them a covenant of peace and ^(F)banish wild beasts from the land, ^(G)so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. ²⁶ And I will make them and the places all around my hill ^(H)a blessing, and ^(I)I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be ^(J)showers of blessing. ^27 (K)And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, ^(L)and they shall be secure in their land. And ^(M)they shall know that I am the Lord, when ^(N)I break the bars of their yoke, and ^(O)deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. ^28 (P)They shall no more be a prey to the nations, ^(Q)nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. ^(R)They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. ²⁹ And I will provide for them ^(S)renowned plantations so that ^(T)they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer ^(U)suffer the reproach of the nations. ³⁰ And they shall know that ^(V)I am the Lord their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God. ³¹ And you are my sheep, ^(W)human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
