This 50-page book reproduces a four-part series first preached by the author in July 2010. While it takes only about 40 seconds to read its 118 words, Psalm 23 is among the most comforting passages in all of Scripture. Its language is not scientific, philosophical, legal, or even all that theological. It is short, simple, and sweet, but, oh, so sublime!

So, "using common ancient near-eastern images," one expositor observes, "David progressively unveils his personal relationship with the LORD." In beautiful poetry, David provides us with five emphases. After first speaking of the Shepherd's person, he then exults in what he receives from his Shepherd: provision, paths, protection, and permanence.
