Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
Verses 1-6
Confidence in God's grace and care. The believing language of every gracious soul: 'The Lord is my shepherd.' Christ is that good Shepherd. Under the care of this shepherd we want for nothing necessary; he restoreth our souls when wandering, supplies us with grace, gives us rest when wearied. Death is a dark valley, but the Christian fears no evil there, for Christ is with him. Shall we doubt his goodness when in life it has followed us, or his mercy when at the last we are gathered to the house of the Lord forever?
