Psalm Twenty-Three

I. //The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want// (Ps. 23:1). These words are to be considered in the light of the verse //My Beloved is mine, and I am His: He feedeth His flock among the lilies// (Song 2:16), by which is meat that the congregation of Israel said to the Holy One, blessed be He: As He is God to me, so am I people to Him. As He is God to me, having said: //I am the Lord thy God// (Ex. 20:2), so am I His people to Him, He having said: //Attend [[קשב]] unto me, O My people// (Isa. 51:4).

//For length of days// (ibid.) - for time never-ending, that is, life in the world-to-come.
