'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell the house of the forever.' means that in concluding, David now asserts that God’s goodness and mercy will forever follow him as long as he lives. With this great confidence in God’s continued favour in his life; no form of opposition of fear will shatter his faith in God’s ability to meet his needs. David knows that the Shepherd will always provide guidance as he outpours his amazing love and mercy. This adoration of praise in God’s goodness was also restated in Psalm 31:19 when David says “How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.
