Psalm 23 in Hebrew

BiblePlaces has just released a nice video here of Psalm 23 that includes the psalm sung in Hebrew.

Psalm Songs

Brett McCracken lists seven different musical renditions of eight different psalms (19, 23, 46, 73, 90, 119, 121, 131) here. I was aware of some but not all of these. I created a Spotify playlist devoted to Psalm songs a while back and hope to add some of these.

Psalm 23 Links

I have been working on a commentary on the Psalms. I have decided to compile some helpful links that I discovered during my research. It includes a mix of exegetical and sermonic links. Here is what I have for Psalm 23 (in no particular order). Feel free to mention any that you find helpful in the comments section.

Psalm 23 Prepositionally

James Smith's* Handfuls on Purpose includes the following outline of Psalm 23. While I wouldn't use this as my main preaching outline, it might make for a good illustration or supplement to a message.

Psalm 23 (again).

1. Beneath me, "green pastures."
2. Beside me, "still waters."
3. With me, "my Shepherd."
4. Before me, "a table."
5. Around me, "mine enemies."
6. Upon me, "anointing."
7. After me, "goodness and mercy." 
8. Beyond me, "The house of the Lord."
— Selected.

James Smith and Robert Lee, Handfuls on Purpose for Christian Workers and Bible Students, I–XIII, vol. 7 (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1947), 123.

* James Smith wrote the first ten volumes before his death and the later volumes were completed by Robert Lee.
