I wanted a messianic judiastic(?) take on the first line of Psalm 23(?).
Some versions of the bible have :
The lord is my shepard I shall not want.
Some have :
The lord is my shepard I will lack for nothing.
I often think about this line. Is the first one more correct and related to the same shall not of the ten commandments so that the interpretation becomes I shall not wish for things or want because it is a slight upon God who provides all. Or is it like the second - I will get all I need. I.E. is it more of a command or a comfort.
What do you think?
