Psalms23

Psalm 23 portrays the LORD as a benevolent shepherd who provides for all needs, leading to rest and restoration. The psalmist expresses unwavering trust, fearing no evil even in death's shadow, because God's presence brings comfort and guidance. This divine care extends to abundant provision in the presence of adversaries, culminating in an assurance of perpetual goodness, mercy, and eternal dwelling in God's house.

The LORD, My Shepherd of Provision

1
A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.
2
He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.
3
He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

Protection and Comfort in the Face of Danger

4
Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

The Generous Host and Eternal Dwelling

5
Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.
6
Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
