Salmos 23

Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) · Português

1 Salmo de Davi: O SENHOR é meu pastor, nada me faltará. 2 Ele me faz deitar em pastos verdes, e me leva a águas quietas. 3 Ele restaura minha alma, e me guia pelos caminhos da justiça por seu nome. 4 Ainda que eu venha a andar pelo vale da sombra da morte, não temerei mal algum, porque tu estás comigo; tua vara e teu cajado me consolam. 5 Tu preparas uma mesa diante de mim à vista de meus adversários; unges a minha cabeça com azeite, meu cálice transborda. 6 Certamente o bem e a bondade me seguirão todos os dias de minha vida; e habitarei na casa do SENHOR por muitos e muitos dias.

Salmos 23:1

PSALM 23

Psa 23:1-6. Under a metaphor borrowed from scenes of pastoral life, with which David was familiar, he describes God's providential care in providing refreshment, guidance, protection, and abundance, and so affording grounds of confidence in His perpetual favor.

1. Christ's relation to His people is often represented by the figure of a shepherd (Joh 10:14; He 13:20; 1Pe 2:25; 5:4), and therefore the opinion that He is the Lord here so described, and in Ge 48:15; Psa 80:1; Is 40:11, is not without some good reason.

Salmos 23:2

2. green pastures--or, "pastures of tender grass," are mentioned, not in respect to food, but as places of cool and refreshing rest.

the still waters--are, literally, "waters of "stillness," whose quiet flow invites to repose. They are contrasted with boisterous streams on the one hand, and stagnant, offensive pools on the other.

Salmos 23:3

3. To restore the soul is to revive or quicken it (Psa 19:7), or relieve it (La 1:11, 19).

paths of righteousness--those of safety, as directed by God, and pleasing to Him.

for his name's sake--or, regard for His perfections, pledged for His people's welfare.

Salmos 23:4

4. In the darkest and most trying hour God is near.

the valley of the shadow of death--is a ravine overhung by high precipitous cliffs, filled with dense forests, and well calculated to inspire dread to the timid, and afford a covert to beasts of prey. While expressive of any great danger or cause of terror, it does not exclude the greatest of all, to which it is most popularly applied, and which its terms suggest.

thy rod and thy staff--are symbols of a shepherd's office. By them he guides his sheep.

Salmos 23:5-6

5-6. Another figure expresses God's provided care.

a table--or, "food," anointing

oil--the symbol of gladness, and the overflowing

cup--which represents abundance--are prepared for the child of God, who may feast in spite of his enemies, confident that this favor will ever attend him. This beautiful Psalm most admirably sets before us, in its chief figure, that of a shepherd, the gentle, kind, and sure care extended to God's people, who, as a shepherd, both rules and feeds them. The closing verse shows that the blessings mentioned are spiritual.
