Contents: David sees Jehovah as his good shepherd.

Characters: God, David.

Conclusion: Jehovah is with (Psalms 23:1) under (Psalms 23:2) beside (Psalms 23:2) after (Psalms 23:6) before (Psalms 23:5) and ahead of (Psalms 23:6) all His trusting children. They shall not want for food (Psalms 23:2) drink (Psalms 23:2) strength (Psalms 23:3) guidance (Psalms 23:3) comfort (Psalms 23:4) satisfaction (Psalms 23:5) or life (Psalms 23:6).

Key Word: Shepherd, Psalms 23:1.

Strong Verses: Psalms 23:1; Psalms 23:4.

Striking Facts: The shepherd psalm follows the psalm of the cross. We must by experience know the value of the blood shed on Calvary's cross and see the sword awakened against the Shepherd before we can truly know the sweetness of the Good Shepherd's care. Psa. 22 is the Good Shepherd dying for His sheep. (John 10:11.) Psa. 23 is the Great Shepherd caring for His sheep. (Hebrews 13:20.) Psa. 24 is the Chief Shepherd coming again for His sheep. (1 Peter 5:4.)
