Psalm 23 – The Lord is My Shepherd Scripture

Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known and well-loved passages in the Bible. The incredibly comforting imagery and encouragement are precious to the heart of the believer in Christ. 

In this psalm, David beautifully describes the loving and abounding care of our Creator. The Lord has an intimate relationship with his people just as the shepherd knows and lovingly cares for his sheep. 

In this passage, no matter what challenges we face (even death), we can be sure that the Lord: 

  • gives us everything we truly need
  • gives us rest and restoration
  • leads us in the way of righteousness
  • is trustworthy and strong in the face of evil
  • guides and comforts us as we navigate life
  • preserves and cares for us in the presence of enemies
  • pours mercy and goodness on our lives
  • gives those who belong to Christ a secure place in his kingdom
