Guiding Questions: Psalms 23 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 23

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Why would God be compared to a shepherd?
Should this Psalm be considered as one of thanks and/or confidence?
Do the green meadows and tranquil waters refer to this life or, possibly, to the after-life?
Is the total darkness of Psalms 23:4 of this world or of the world to come?
What type of table is prepared for the Psalmist before his adversaries?
Does the closing Psalms 23:6 refer to this life since the phrase “all the days of my life” appears, or does it make reference to the after-life “for days without end”; or is this simply a poetic reference for a very long life?
