A man who, like David, has been shepherded by the LORD in difficult and dire circumstances; (2). The pastures beside still waters; (3). And the protection of the shepherd in a life-threatening spot (which, in the Psalm, is called the valley of the shadow of death). ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 23, David speaks of the LORD as his shepherd. David begins with an expression of over-arching blessing: he shall not want because the LORD is his shepherd. He then states the specifics of the LORD's supply (1). The LORD causes him to lie down in green pastures, and restores his soul by leading him in the paths of righteousness (2-3). David does not fear anything, even death, because God is with him and comforts him (4). The LORD prepares a table for him in the presence of his enemies. In other words, while they are raging, he is it peace enjoying a meal in communion with his LORD. And the LORD anoints his head with oil, soothing and healing him. His cup runs over. So surely goodness and mercy will follow him all the days of his life; and he will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Instead of "dwell" some commentators prefer the rendering "return" in the sense of "go to dwell." The idea, in that case, would be a journey from the pasture to find rest and lodging in the house of the Lord (5-6). [ Sermons: Eric Alexander. William Still.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
