The psalm is organized around these two interlocking illustrations. The first, and the most famous, and really the governing illustration, is the shepherd in verses 1 to 4. This psalm is known as “The Shepherd’s Psalm.” But there is also in verses 5 and 6 this illustration of God being our generous Host. He is the host in hospitality as He invites us to His table. And so these two illustrations, the Good Shepherd and the generous Host, this is where David is drawing his confidence. And so we’ll look tonight as these two illustrations - the Good Shepherd, that you are a sheep in His care, in verses 1 to 4. And the generous Host, that you have a seat at His table, in verses 5 and 6.
