The Psalm 23 pamphlet is a word-by-word study of this cherished psalm, providing a meaning and an application for each phrase, as well as related Bible passages. For example:

• "He restores my soul"

• Meaning

--God cares for and keeps my heart and mind.

• Sheep may become "cast," stuck on their backs, unable to get up. A downcast sheep is one that has rolled over into a depression and cannot right itself to stand. In this condition, a sheep struggling to raise itself may quickly become dehydrated in the simmer sun. A cast sheep is also easy prey for wild animals--top heavy, body down in a hole, legs flailing the air, a sheep in this state is a funny sight to see--funny, but also helpless.

Application

--We can trust God for the needs of the body and spirit.

• How has God restored your soul?
