Psalms 23:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 23:2
The shepherd imagery shifts to God's provision of rest and refreshment through two parallel phrases. 'Green pastures' (literally 'pastures of tender grass') represent abundant provision, while 'still waters' (literally 'waters of rest') suggest peace and safety—sheep fear rushing water. The causative Hebrew verbs emphasize God's active leading and enabling, not passive observation. This verse anticipates Christ's invitation in Matthew 11:28-30 to find rest in Him, the Good Shepherd who gives His life for the sheep.
