4 Bible Commentaries on Psalms 23: 4
Psalm 23:4 starts with passing through the valley of the shadow of death. Christians pass through the valley and not walk in it. A shadow can never hurt us so though we see the shadow of death, we should not fear. Where there is a shadow, there must be light. After walking through the valley, towards the light, Hope must fill every christian’s heart, that Jesus is waiting after we have passed through the valley of death.
A shepherd has two things with him:A rod and a staff. A rod is not that heavy or weighty. It is used to guide and lead the sheep, to get them in right path, if one goes astray. The staff is big and heavy. It is meant to hit enemies like wolves etc. Thus it is for the protection of the sheep against the enemies. If the shepherd uses the staff to lead the sheep, its blow may be too severe for the sheep to bear. When the sheep sees the rod and the staff in the hands of the shepherd, it feels ensured of the leading and also the security against the possible attacks of the enemies. The sheep is thus comforted. It is better to see the whole picture, rather than to try to see what exactly is typified separately say by a rode or a staff.

SONGS FOR PSALM 23/GOD NEVER LET GO

YOU NEVER LET GO
SEE:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIAdgLR1ZGw&feature=related
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know you are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
(Chorus:)
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
(Chorus)
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
(Chorus 2x’s)
