Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 23

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Verse 2

Lie down - To repose myself at noon, as the manner was in those hot countries. Green - Where there is both delight and plenty of provisions.


Verse 3

Restoreth - Heb. He bringeth it back; from its errors and wandering. For - Not for any worth in me, but for the glory of his justice, and faithfulness, and goodness.


Verse 4

Thy rod and thy staff - Two words denoting the same thing, and both designing God's pastoral care over him.


Verse 5

A table - Thou furnishest me with plenty of provisions and comforts. Oil - With aromatic ointments, which were then used at great feasts; thy comforts delight my soul. Runneth over - Thou hast given me a plentiful portions, signified by the cup, given to the guests by the master of the feast.
