Berean Standard Bible

“He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.”

Psalms 23:2

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 23 pictures the Lord as a shepherd caring for his sheep across a whole journey. In the dry hills of Judea, green grass and calm water were not easy to find, and a shepherd had to know the land well to lead his flock to them.
