Commentary on Psalms 23:3

Theological / Devotional

Restoreth. Heb. shub (see on Ps. 19:7).

Soul. Heb. nephesh (see on Ps. 3:2; 16:10).

Paths of righteousness. Those familiar with the rough terrain of Judea know how easy it is to waste time and suffer serious mishap when traversing the highlands, cut with deep wadis, if they do not find the right path. If we permit, God always leads us in the right way, although at the time that way may not seem easy.

For his name’s sake. God’s guidance is a revelation to men of His character (see Ex. 33:19; see on Ps. 31:3).
