I want to go through one of the most popular and well known chapters in the entire Bible. It’s the 23rd Psalm, written by Kind David and reflects the experiences of a man who had gone through many valleys and had constant shadows of death enveloping him, yet he knew in the end that he would dwell in the house of the Lord forever. David writes that ...
In this part of the 23rd Psalm, David writes,“He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters” (Psalm 23:2), it’s almost as if the Good Shepherd makes him lie down in green pastures, as if sheep don’t have enough sense to move to greener pastures without being led. Since sheep are afraid of moving water, the significance of ...
Kind David continues in this special Psalm by writing “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake”(Psalm 23:3) and David’s point is that it is God alone Who restores our soul and it needed it because we were dead in sins (Eph 2:1-1) and needed quickening (or be made alive) by God’s Spirit.

David wrote,“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows”(Psalm 23:5), so God has prepared something for us…and perhaps it’s a vague reference to the great banquet coming in the kingdom, which is the Marriage Feast of the Lamb of God when the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, marries His Bride,...
In the very last verse of Psalm 23, David writes,“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,”so goodness and mercy will follow me and you, even when we stray off the path. The word “surely” means “with certainty” and this goodness and mercy stay with us even when we don’t d...

The psalmist is a guest of honor and recipient of divine favor, who enjoys unlimited access to the divine palace and the divine presence. Psalm 23:1 sn The Lord is my shepherd. The opening metaphor suggests the psalmist is assuming the role of a sheep. In vv. 1b-4 the psalmist extends the metaphor and explains exactly how the Lord is like a ...
The 23rd Psalm is one of the best-known and most-loved literary works in the world, and it may well be the best poem ever written. It is also a fine example of the power of figurative language: We read deep things into the vision of ourselves as sheep, led to green pastures and good water by a kind shepherd.
