psalm 23

i don't understand psalm 23
i don't know if i'm the only one

i wondered this morning if Jesus had it in mind on the cross,
if after He quoted psalm 22 whether in their bibles psalm 23 came afterwards and he thought You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows - i wondered whether that suffering and safety duality was in his mind. and 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. but i don't fully understand how divided the trinity was on the cross. in my [flawed] mind there must be some deep low constant chord of fellowship, even in amongst the wrath of the Father being poured on the Son. they're working for a common purpose in it and achieving the glory of their name through it. but overall it just confuses me. seems reductive to just say it's a nice poem for the believer.

at any rate psalm 23 taught me

He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

and so today i'm praying that for myself
