In the next two verses of Psalm 23, verses 5 and 6, the metaphor changes from that of a shepherd and his sheep to that of a host and his guest. Like that of a generous host, Jehovah treats David as an honored guest. Even David's enemies are powerless to prevent him from enjoying God's care. At the end of the psalm, David expresses his confidence that God will show him goodness and love for the rest of his life.
The word pictures used in Psalm 23 describe the loving care God continues to provide for his worshippers. - 1 PETER 2:25.
