大卫的诗。耶和华是我的牧者．我必不至缺乏。 他使我躺卧在青草地上、领我在可安歇的水边。 他使我的灵魂苏醒、为自己的名引导我走义路。 我虽然行过死荫的幽谷、也不怕遭害．因为你与我同在．你的杖、你的竿、都安慰我。 在我敌人面前、你为我摆设筵席．你用油膏了我的头、使我的福杯满溢。 我一生一世必有恩惠慈爱随着我．我且要住在耶和华的殿中、直到永远。

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

诗篇 23 以牧者与待客的图像描绘神的看顾，也没有回避幽暗的道路。把这篇用于健康处境，是寻求陪伴与供应，不是承诺每一种疾病都会按期待痊愈。 连日照护家人后，我发现自己越来越难保持耐心。照护包括看见自己的有限。求供应也可以是邀请别人承担一段时间，让照护不只依靠一个人。 今天的一小步：与家人讨论一次轮班或代办，让自己有一段可休息的时间。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
Psalm 23 portrays care through images of a shepherd and a host without avoiding dark paths. Applying it to health seeks presence and provision, not a guarantee that every illness will heal as expected. After days of caregiving, I find patience harder to sustain. Care includes recognizing your limits. Asking for provision may mean arranging someone else to cover a period of care. A small step today: Discuss one shift or errand someone else can cover so you can rest. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
