Session #9 - Feasting on God: A Table in the Presence of My Enemies (Psalm 23) I. INTRODUCTION 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Ps. 23:1-6) II. THE LORD PREPARES A TABLE FOR HIS PEOPLE 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. (Ps. 23:5) D.
