Verse 1: David speaks of an intimate relationship with God using the name "Yahweh", the personal, covenantal name of the God of Israel. By saying, "I shall not want", David and subsequently, believers are reminded that in Christ, all needs are met.

Verse 2: Here, Jesus is depicted as providing spiritual rest and nourishment, offering abundance in life.

Verse 3: Christ offers restoration for the lost and guidance in righteous paths for God’s glory.

Verse 4: Even during life's most challenging moments, Jesus' presence comforts believers, reminding them that they are never alone.
