The Promised Shepherd is Jesus
Commentators are unanimous that the figure of "my servant David" is not the literal King David returning, but a prophetic title for the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Scholars like John Gill and Albert Barnes explain that Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic line—the true King and Shepherd that David only foreshadowed. This prophecy points directly to Christ as the one true leader of God's people.
