The believer's sufficiency is grounded in belonging to the LORD, whose care gives rest, nourishment, and peace.
Psalms 23:1–3
1 Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
The LORD restores the inner life and directs His people along righteous paths for the sake of His own name.
3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
The darkest path does not become a God-abandoned path, because the LORD's presence and protection comfort His people.
Psalms 23:4–6
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
In the presence of enemies, the LORD welcomes, honors, and abundantly supplies the worshiper.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
The final horizon is not merely survival but being pursued by goodness and covenant love until settled fellowship in the LORD's house.
6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
