Psalm 23-The Shepherd’s Psalm

The person of the shepherd (23:1)

• Not a lord, the LORD (Jehovah God, Exo. 3:15).
• Not a shepherd, but my shepherd.

The provision of the shepherd (23:2-3)

• Making to lie down in green pas-tures.
  • Satisfying physical needs.
  • Satisfying emotional needs.
• Leading by still waters.
  • Satisfying the thirst.
  • Keeping away from dangerous watering places.
• The sheep are restored.
• The green pasture and the still waters are a place to stop, but not a place to stay.

The pathway of the shepherd (23:3)

• Following His path honors the great name of the Shepherd.

The protection of the shepherd (23:4)

• The “valley of the shadow of death” is the gloomy perils of this life.
• The sheep of Jehovah always come through the valley.
