Ps 23:1-6.
繁體中文
英語原文
Ps 23:1-6.
Under a metaphor borrowed from scenes of pastoral life, with which David was familiar, he describes God's providential care in providing refreshment, guidance, protection, and abundance, and so affording grounds of confidence in His perpetual favor.
1. Christ's relation to His people is often represented by the figure of a shepherd
(Joh 10:14; Heb 13:20; 1Pe 2:25; 5:4),
and therefore the opinion that He is the Lord here so described, and in
Ge 48:15; Ps 80:1; Isa 40:11,
is not without some good reason.

2. 青草地——或作「嫩草的牧場」，提及此處不是為了食物，而是作為涼爽而令人舒暢的安歇之所。
可安歇的水邊——直譯為「靜默的水」，其靜靜的流淌引人安息。它們一方面與奔騰的溪流相對，另一方面與停滯發臭的水潭相對。
英語原文
2. green pastures--or, "pastures of tender grass," are mentioned, not in respect to food, but as places of cool and refreshing rest.
the still waters--are, literally, "waters of "stillness," whose quiet flow invites to repose. They are contrasted with boisterous streams on the one hand, and stagnant, offensive pools on the other.

3. 使魂甦醒就是復甦或賜生命給它
（Ps 19:7），
或使它得舒解
（La 1:11, 19）。
義路——安全之路，是神所指引、他所喜悅的。
為自己的名——或作因顧念他的完全，這已為他百姓的福祉作了保證。
英語原文
3. To restore the soul is to revive or quicken it
(Ps 19:7),
or relieve it
(La 1:11, 19).
paths of righteousness--those of safety, as directed by God, and pleasing to Him.
for his name's sake--or, regard for His perfections, pledged for His people's welfare.

4. 在最黑暗、最艱難的時刻，神仍相近。
死廕的幽谷——是兩旁懸崖高聳、密林叢生的山溝，足以令膽怯者生畏，也為猛獸提供隱匿之所。這詞固然可表達任何極大的危險或恐懼之源，卻也不排除其中最大者——即最常被引用的用法，也是其字義所暗示的。
你的杖你的竿——是牧者職分的記號。他藉此引導他的羊。
英語原文
4. In the darkest and most trying hour God is near.
the valley of the shadow of death--is a ravine overhung by high precipitous cliffs, filled with dense forests, and well calculated to inspire dread to the timid, and afford a covert to beasts of prey. While expressive of any great danger or cause of terror, it does not exclude the greatest of all, to which it is most popularly applied, and which its terms suggest.
thy rod and thy staff--are symbols of a shepherd's office. By them he guides his sheep.

5, 6. 另一個比喻表達神所預備的看顧。
筵席——或作「食物」，用膏抹的
油——喜樂的象徵，以及滿溢的
杯——代表豐盛——都是為神的兒女所預備的；他可以在仇敵面前安然筵宴，確信這恩惠必永遠伴隨他。這篇優美的詩篇以其主要比喻——牧者——最貼切地向我們展示了神對其百姓溫柔、仁慈而確定的看顧；祂作為牧者，既治理也餧養他們。末節表明所提的福分是屬靈的。
英語原文
5, 6. Another figure expresses God's provided care.
a table--or, "food," anointing
oil--the symbol of gladness, and the overflowing
cup--which represents abundance--are prepared for the child of God, who may feast in spite of his enemies, confident that this favor will ever attend him. This beautiful Psalm most admirably sets before us, in its chief figure, that of a shepherd, the gentle, kind, and sure care extended to God's people, who, as a shepherd, both rules and feeds them. The closing verse shows that the blessings mentioned are spiritual.
Ps 23:1-6.
大衛以牧人生活的場景為喻——這是他所熟悉的——描述神護理的眷顧：賜下滋潤、引導、保護與豐盛，從而為他對神永遠恩惠的確信提供根據。
1. 基督與其子民的關係常以牧者的意象表達
(Joh 10:14; Heb 13:20; 1Pe 2:25; 5:4)，
因此認為此處及
Ge 48:15; Ps 80:1; Isa 40:11
所描繪的主即指基督，並非沒有充分的理由。
