Ps. 23:1      Ps. 23:3

Psalms 23:2


By green pastures (lush grazing lands)
he lets me rest (makes me lie down).
Beside quiet (calm, peaceful, safe) waters (literally: "by the waters of rest")
he leads me (he gently accompanies me).
[From experience, David knew that sheep must be led to calm, fresh spring water. Streams and torrents are dangerous to sheep—more than they themselves understand. The same word for leading (Hebr. nahal) is used by Isaiah when he describes how the Lord gently leads the ewes and carries the lambs, see Isa. 40:11.]
