Psalms 23:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 23:3
The Hebrew 'nephesh' (soul) encompasses the whole person—life, vitality, and being—not merely emotions. 'Restoreth' (shuwb) means to return, turn back, or bring back, suggesting restoration from wandering or depletion. The phrase 'paths of righteousness' (literally 'tracks of rightness') indicates God's guidance along right ways. The motivation 'for his name's sake' reveals that God's glory, not our merit, drives His faithful care, guaranteeing His commitment. This anticipates the restoration Christ offers to wandering sinners (Luke 15:4-7; 1 Peter 2:25).
