Psalms 23:5-6
23:5 a A feast demonstrates the Lord’s care and mercy toward his people (see 22:26 b, 29 c). Although enemies can watch, they cannot trouble the guests.• The ritual of anointing the head with oil showed guests honor (92:9-11 d), hospitality, and refreshment (104:15 e; 133:2 f).
23:6 g The Lord expresses his unfailing love through the goodness of his presence and other benefits that he alone provides (69:16 h; 86:17 i; 109:21 j; see 18:6 k; 61:4 l). He actively bestows care that is greater than the temporary trials imposed by enemies (7:1 m).
