Exegetical Issues

Psalm 23 is beloved for the tender image of YHWH as our shepherd. Simply because YHWH is with his people, they fear no harm. Instead of enemies pursuing them successfully in life, goodness and loyalty will successfully pursue them, as YHWH protects and provides for his own.

יְהוָ֥ה רֹ֝עִ֗י לֹ֣א אֶחְסָֽר׃

YHWH is my shepherd; I will never lack anything.
