<P> Psalm 23 ( Greek numbering : Psalm 22 because of its opening line ) is the 23rd and perhaps best - known psalm in the Old Testament Book of Psalms and perhaps the best - known chapter in the Hebrew Bible . The writer describes God as his shepherd . The theme of this poem casts God in the role of protector and provider , and is routinely read and recited by Jews and Christians alike . For Christians , the `` Lord '' referred is sometimes taken to be Jesus , who referred himself as the `` good shepherd '' according to the Gospel of John . </P>
