Reading Psalm Twenty- Three was a thrill for me. As a Catholic Christian, I like to read as much as I can about the scripture; moreover, actually trying to analyze scripture becomes an even greater pleasure. Although, one must not analyze too much into anything, I would like to personally express the analysis that I found when I read this deeply heartfelt psalm by justifying each verse separately. This psalm is all-powerful because of the fact that “ it offers rest, food, consolation, protection and permanent living quarters—all that one could wish for and all under the guarantee of a God who is identified as a shepherd” (Pyper 386-87).

The psalm is about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the first verse, the psalmist speaks about the trust we have in their Shepherd. The trust we gain from our Shepherd permits us to feel secure, therefore, causing us to not want. The knowledge that God will provide is knowledge enough to go through life not really having the need to want anything at all for He will always be there to provide everything you ever shall want. He will be there, our Shepherd, even when we go astray, He will lead us the acceptable way, and we will follow Him just

I analyzed this psalm by each verse trying to tie the verses together when it became necessary. Although I had to think too in-depth about things, therefore, bringing in things that may not even be what the scripture was saying, the interpretation given as such is the only interpretation that I have now personally. As proof to this statement I would like to give you an example. The fact is that one verse cannot go without another, just as one chapter differs without reading another in any other book. As you cannot read a book and fully understand it until you have read it in full. I am asking you and I to go on further and read further into the Bible, where this psalm originates, and then finalize your thoughts and interpretations, keeping in mind interpretations are too many to count and not always right.
