Psalms 23:6

"Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD’s house forever."

Key Reflection

This verse promises that God's continual goodness and lovingkindness will accompany the psalmist throughout their entire life, providing constant care and support. The second part suggests a eternal dwelling place with God, symbolizing a future of everlasting fellowship and bliss in His presence.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me -God will bestow them upon me. This is the “result” of what is stated in the previous verses. The effect of God’s merciful dealings with him had been to lead his mind to the assurance that God would always be his shepherd and friend; that He would never leave him to want. All the days of my life -Through all its changes; in every variety of situation; until I reach its close. Life indeed would end, and he does not venture to conjecture when that would be; but as long as life should continue, he felt confidently assured that everything needful for him would be bestowed upon him.
