The Lord, the Shepherd of His people. When David wrote this wonderful Psalm is not certain. In his older years in a time of peace or when he was younger, gracing the fields, leading Jesse his father's sheep by the bubbling brooks? David writes here of the Lord, his Shepherd. A very personal reality. That the God of heaven and earth, the high and lofty one would condescend to be happy to be and to be called a Shepherd, is truly a humbling and magnificent meditation.
