Biblical Hebrew Applied: Psalm 23 (part 4)

Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.”

The Longest Psalm, a Deep Comfort

If you turn to the very middle of the canonical Bible, you’ll find yourself in Psalm 119, which is not only the longest psalm but also the longest chapter in the entire Bible. Furthermore, it is not just long in its length, but it is also deep in its content.

Psalm 23:3: “He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”

Two things that we immediately see in this verse is God’s sovereignty and His incredible grace and mercy toward us, His children.

He restores continually

The word for “He restores” in Hebrew is יְשֹׁובֵב […]

Why Is the Bible Divided into Chapters and Verses?

When the books of the Bible were originally written there were no such things as chapters or verses. Each book was written without any breaks from the beginning to the end.

They Have Been Divided For Convenience

The chapter and verse divisions were added to the Bible for the sake of convenience. There is […]

Scripture for Memorizing Scripture

Shortly after God saved me, I was encouraged to join a Bible study at the church I attended. The leader of this Bible study was a thorough student of God’s word. A former drug addict and thief, God saved him as He read a Bible for the first time. This led to any immediate […]
