As I begin preparing for a study in Psalm 23, I thought I would note the parallels between Psalm 16 and 23. I'm not making any comments on these verses since I will be breaking down Psalm 23 over the next several days, but I love to see how interconnected God's Word is. This would be easier to read in a chart, but I wasn't able to figure out how to do that easily without taking a lot of time.
Psalm 16:2
Psalm 16:2
I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing."
Psalm 23:1
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.
Psalm 16:5-6,9-10
Lord, You have assigned me my portion and my cup; You have made my lot
secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I
have a delightful inheritance...Therefore, my heart is glad and my tongue
rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because You will not abandon me to
the grave, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
Psalm 23:5,6
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint
my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow
me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 16:1,7-8
Keep me safe, O God, for in You I take refuge... I will praise the Lord, who
counsels me; even at night my dart instructs me. I have set the Lord always
before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
counsels me; even at night my dart instructs me. I have set the Lord always
before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 16:11
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your
presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Psalm 23:2-3
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He
restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
