Psalms 23:1–3
The Lord is a faithful Shepherd who provides perfect rest, restores the soul, and leads His people in the right paths for His name's sake.
1 Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
The Lord is a faithful Shepherd who provides perfect rest, restores the soul, and leads His people in the right paths for His name's sake.
To express absolute confidence in God’s personal care and provision, characterizing the relationship between the LORD and the believer as that of a faithful Shepherd and His sheep.
The LORD Shepherds and Hosts His People
Because the LORD Himself shepherds His people, they can walk through need, restoration, danger, opposition, and death-shadowed valleys with fearless confidence in His presence and covenant love.
