Psalms 23:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He restoreth my soul, &c.— He refresheth, &c. Mudge. "When I am ready to faint, he refreshes me, and brings me to life again." See Psalms 19:8. In the paths of righteousness, Green renders very properly, after Schultens, in right paths: "in such paths as are right and safe for me." See Proverbs 8:20. And he justly observes, that it is right to keep up the metaphorical sense, and to carry on the image of a shepherd, under which God is represented, and not break in upon it, as in the case in our version of the 3rd verse, and then return to it again in the 4th.

Psalms 23:3

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
