Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 23:2
Theological / DevotionalGreen pastures. Literally, “pastures of fresh, new grass.”
Still waters. Literally, “waters of resting places,” that is, resting places with water, as by a river, brook, well, or lake. What a picture of the grace of God is given here! The Good Shepherd leads His sheep “beside the still waters” only the better to prepare them for the strenuous activities of the open road. God grants hours of refreshment to enable men the better to meet the hard battles of the daily round of affairs.
