That’s an awesome woods you’ve got there!
First of all, I like that you put a path in your image to help signify “he shall direct your paths” and that you put your subject off center to help give the verse more prominence. The bokeh is lovely in the background, and the dramatic side lighting is interesting.
While I can see where you got the idea for the text to be yellow (the girl’s shirt) and it does stand out against the background, I think it’s ultimately distracting from rather than helping the overall design. I’ve found a dark shade from the photo or white works best to complement rather than take away from photos.
The focal point of the photo is really on the top-left third due to all the leading lines. Having the text down at the bottom of the photo instead of at the focal point means my eye goes to the girl, end of the path, and then to the text. If you moved the text more towards the vertical center of the photo, it could help with this.
Keep up the great work Hannah!
