Psalm 23:4–6 portrays the Lord’s unwavering protection and presence through life’s darkest valleys. David declares that even in the “valley of the shadow of death,” he fears no evil because the Shepherd’s rod of authority and staff of rescue bring comfort. God prepares safe pastures, anoints His sheep with oil to bring relief from irritation and sin, and surrounds them with goodness and mercy that pursue them daily. Ultimately, believers journey from the pasture of this life to the palace of eternity, dwelling forever with their faithful Shepherd and King.
