Psalm 34 is an acrostic psalm, corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The seemingly unrelated verses fit well into a simple outline: 1. David’s posture toward God; 2. David’s attitude toward life; and 3. God’s actions toward his people. God hears, God protects, and God delivers.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
