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 Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack,
2
In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.
3
My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

Protection and Comfort in the Face of Danger

4
Also--when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff--they comfort me.

The Generous Host and Eternal Dwelling

5
Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!
6
Only--goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
