Welcome
Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved and well-known passages in Scripture, quoted in times of comfort and celebration alike. Psalm 23 is traditionally attributed to David, and its shepherd imagery naturally invites us to hear it alongside what Scripture tells us about David’s early life: a God who lovingly provides for, restores, protects, and blesses His people.
This study walks through Psalm 23 verse by verse: its historical context, its theological richness, and its practical application. It opens with David himself: how his life as a shepherd, a warrior, and a king can help us hear the psalm that everything else rests on. The six sessions after that stay inside the psalm.
Whether you are in restful green pastures right now or walking through a dark valley, this psalm invites you to trust God’s care in every season. Take the study at your own pace, alone or with a group. Seven sessions in all; seven days or seven weeks.
