Psalm 23
Psalm 23

Daniel Selch
October 23, 2024

In Psalm 23, David reflects on his relationship with God.  Utilizing Hebrew figurative language, David poetically paints many pictures of God's characteristics and attributes that he has experienced and enjoys in his life.  Not only is Psalm 23 one of the most famous pieces of literature in human history, it is also an invitation for the reader to reflect on God; Who He is: and the intimacy, devotion and dependency He calls us to have from, in and through Him.
