A brief orientation
Written by Out of the Cloud — not part of the Bible text
A six-verse psalm, traditionally attributed to David, that pictures God first as a shepherd who leads, restores and protects, and then as a host who prepares a table. It is among the best-known passages in the Bible and is often read at funerals and in hard seasons.
Psalm 23
1Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4Even 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. 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. 6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh's house forever.
