Psalm 23:5
As David s song of the sheep concludes, he suddenly drops the analogy to consider his own experience of God, both as a simple man in need of a Saviour and as a king in need of divine guidance.
Verse five
No sheep ever ate at a literal table prepared for it. Abruptly, we are transported from the green pastures, the valley, and the rugged mountainside to a table in the enemy s presence. While the setting has shifted, David still has the analogy in mind. The common experience of a shepherd with his flock will help us understand. I have Charles W. Slemming to thank for help with this verse. He has done a masterful piece of work in his writings concerning shepherds in the Middle East.
