Psalm 85
1: LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2: Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3: Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4: Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5: Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6: Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7: Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8: I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9: Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10: Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11: Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12: Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13: Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
forgiven: God has covered all my sins
turned from folly by God
revived and experiencing God's mercy
listening to the LORD
fearing the LORD and giving him reverence
receiving goodness from the LORD
set by righteousness in the way of the steps of the LORD

The Self-Sufficiency of Christ, the Good Shepherd by: Prof. S P Pandey
I cannot COMMENT on the commentary given below; I can only AMEN it!
"The LORD is my Shepherd..."
That's RELATIONSHIP!
"I shall not want..."
That's SUPPLY!
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures..."
That's REST!
"He leadeth me beside still waters..."
That's REFRESHMENT!
"He restoreth my soul..."
That's HEALING!
"He leadeth me in the paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS..."
That's GUIDANCE!
"For His name's sake...'
That's PURPOSE!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..."
That's CHALLENGE!
"I'll fear no evil..."
That's ASSURANCE!
"For thou art with me...'
That's FAITHFULNESS!
"Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me..."
That's SHELTER!
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies..."
That's HOPE!
"Thou anointest my head with oil..."
That's CONSECRATION!
"My cup runneth over..."
That's ABUNDANCE!
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life..."
That's BLESSING!
"And I will dwell in the house of the LORD..."
That's SECURITY!
"Forever..."
That's ETERNITY!
