Episode 18: The LORD is my shepherd
Perhaps the best-known, best-loved psalm is Psalm 23, the so-called Shepherd Psalm. We are the sheep for whom God as shepherd cares. The metaphor is used throughout the Old Testament to speak of God's covenant devotion to his people. And even despite the dire prediction of the punishment that is coming to the people of Judah and Jerusalem, Micah still brings words from God that convey the shepherd's protection of his flock.
